Announcement: 2010 SNSYC Juniors' Boating Saftey Course
The SNSYC Juniors' Programme is pleased to offer a Boating Safety Course which leads to acquiring the Pleasure Craft
Operator Certificate, a PCOC. Anyone operating powered watercraft, in any Canadian province, is legally required to have
a PCOC.
The SNSYC Juniors' Safety Course is open to the public and Junior Members aged 10 to 18. The course is comprised of 3 three
hour classroom sessions in preparation for the PCOC examination. Our own Canadian Power and Sail Squadron accredited instructor
teaches this course, and it is geared towards the needs of the young boating enthusiast.
Pre-registration is required and space is limited. Full details on course dates, fees, and registration deadlines can be found

2010 Summer Sailing School Facts
Junior members of SNSYC receive a $25 discount off fees. Non-members may join the Yacht
Club by completing a Junior application. This is a remarkable deal and will
allow the member to participate in Sunday sailing sessions, between April and
November and Thursday evening sessions, from May to October.
BC Sailing has advised that effective 2008 every participant in a Learn To
Sail program through a club or a school will be required to buy the $5 Participation
Insurance from BC Sailing. All participants will be insured through HUB Insurance.
Sidney North Saanich Yacht Club is required to collect the fee and submit it
with the name, address, age and club affiliation of the student to BC Sailing.
