Georgian Yacht Club, Owen Sound, Ontario Canada
Hi Folks, as we enter stage three of this COVID thing your board of directors has decided to fully open up the patios (bbq’s included) and the upstairs of the clubhouse. The downstairs and kitchen will remain closed at this time while we renegotiate our cleaning contract.

Dear GYC Members,
After a recent board discussion we will be leaving the tables down in the picnic shelter for members to use. Please remember to maintain physical distancing and not have gatherings of more than 10 people.
We will be bringing back the Porta Potty to the south basin.
Depending on the developments with Covid-19 we are hoping to plan a modified Sail Past on September 12th, 2020. More details to follow closer to the date.
New member applications are posted in the upper floor of the clubhouse next to the washrooms. Please make sure to review the applications before the individuals come before the board in September.
Stay safe,
Your Board of Directors
