Thanks and happy sailing!

The Ontario Government has announced the extension of the Emergency Stay-At-Home Order, providing updated regulations that now require the closure of outdoor recreational amenities and marinas.  

In order to ensure the security and safety of our members, the Club is closed effective immediately and until further notice. This closure includes TWC grounds and facilities such as the parking lot, lawn, storage trailers, clubhouse and washrooms.

This action reflects recommendations from Ontario Sailing and is consistent with the decisions of all other clubs of the Outer Harbour Sailing Federation which are also closed.

As a result of this closure, the locks on the entry gate and all storage containers have been changed and we ask all members to stop visiting the club immediately. 

City by-law officers and/or the police may enforce with fines and penalties which start at $750 for individuals, significantly more for the club. 

Those with storage will receive a separate email later today with instructions on making an appointment to arrange for one-time pick up and removal of any gear from TWC property. Once removed, equipment may not be returned until after the lock down regulations are lifted.

We thank you for your support and cooperation during this challenging period and hope that everyone will do their part to successfully “flatten the curve”. Please click here to contact us with any questions.

For further updates from TWC, please continue to monitor your inbox and TWC social media, or visit https://torontowindsurfingclub.com/coronavirus.
