Notice of Cancellation
St. Peter's NiteLite Boat Parade
I regret to advise the local boating community that due to a lack of participants we will be unable to stage the NiteLite Boat Parade on Sat. Sept. 4 as previously announced. We appreciate the offer from Ken and Marilyn Levesconte and Dunscrapin to serve as the lead boat this year, but following their and my efforts to contact boaters to participate, and receiving no commitments, we have no other choice. We will attempt to revive this event next year as there continues to be a strong interest in the community for people to watch this event.

Commodore's Welcome to Summer 2010

For the 2010 sailing season the Wallace MacAskill Yacht Club is planning a Regatta Weekend as a lead-up to Nicols Denys Days in St. Peter's. There will be three races from Friday, July 30 to Sunday, August 1. For more information or to register for racing, please contact me (see my link on our Contact Us page).

We are glad to announce that WMYC will once again be hosting the St. Peter's NiteLite Boat Parade on the Labour Day weekend. We look forward to another good turnout of participants on the water and audience ashore for this popular event. More info on this, and the Regatta Weekend can be found on our Events and Races page.

Finally we'd also like to draw your attention to the annual fundraising auction for the MacAskill House Museum. This takes place at the Lions Hall on Wednesday, August 4, with viewing at 6 pm and the auction at 7.

Wishing you all a fun-filled, safe summer on the water,

Mark Vanderhoeden,
Commodore
