BOAT PARADE - Monday, July 1, 7 pm (rain date - Tuesday) No charge. Prizes!
The parade:
- At all times, the captain of the boat is entirely responsible for the safety of their boat and occupants.
- As proposed, the participating boats will all meet at 19:00 in the bay in front of Gaye Moffatt’s cottage (same spot as last year) and anchor down until the lead boat departs (at 19:30). Participating boats will follow the lead boat (about 15 metres apart) and parade at slow speed in single file along the shore of the lake. We’ll stay about a minimum of 15 meters from shore (and 15 meters from obstacles in the water). The parade will proceed along the shores until the boats return to the start point, where the parade will end.
- The owners of each participating boat are encouraged to decorate their boat (for example, with flags and numerous lights), blow the horn and/or play music on loud speakers.
- The parade will start at 19:30 and will end at approximately 21:00, with sufficient twilight allowing for the safe return of boats to their proper dock.
- In compliance with provincial regulations, the captain of the boat must not consume alcohol or be under the effect of alcohol (or other substance) while in the care of the vessel and its occupants.
- Boat owners feel free to depart from the parade when you feel that the amount of light remaining is insufficient.

WRITER'S PRESENTATION - Saturday, August 17, 2pm, (Clubhouse)
Denise Chong, Author of the acclaimed book; Out of Darkness will speak about the book and answer questions
From the bestselling author of The Concubine’s Children and The Girl in the Picture, a gripping story of a domestic assault that shocked the world, of the exercise of power and political influence, and of the Bangladeshi woman whose irrepressible spirit found light in sudden darkness.
From the outside, Rumana seemed an unlikely victim of domestic abuse: married to a man of her own choosing and progressing in her career as a professor of international relations at Dhaka University. But in 2011, on return from graduate studies at the University of British Columbia, her husband attacked and blinded her in front of their young daughter. As Rumana’s horrifying story garnered international headlines, and connections brought her to Vancouver in an attempt—ultimately futile—to restore her sight, her plight underscored the fact that there are no typical victims of intimate-partner violence.
Denise Chong goes behind the headlines to reveal the devolution of a love story into a tale of tyranny behind closed doors, and the pursuit of justice that proved all the more elusive during the rise of social media. Out of Darkness tells a globe-spanning narrative of loyalty, perseverance and a woman’s determination to face the future and rebuild a life with meaning.
Members: $5
Non-Members: $10
