The boat concert has been changed to Sunday, August 2 @ 10:30 am. The forecast is for sunny and calm conditions at concert time. The forecast for today (Saturday) is for South wind in the 25-50kph range with the wind blowing through the evening. This will create 3-4 foot waves and dangerous conditions for small craft.

On Saturday, August 1, the forecast is for strong south winds and large waves which coincides with the Brett-Brett Boat Concert in the evening. If you are planning to attend, carefully consider the wind and wave conditions, along with your boating experience and the capabilities of your vessel. Ask yourself: Will an evening on the lake be both safe and enjoyable? Hopefully the winds ease before concert time, but it is important to be prepared. This includes having a high quality anchor.

In the May newsletter we announced that ?akisqnuk First Nation (AFN) has been approved by Transport Canada to act as the local authority for a new Vessel Operation Restriction Regulation (VORR) on Windermere and Columbia Lakes. Additionally, AFN is moving forward with their desire to oversee an "indigenous led" management plan for the Lakes. CVBA does not support these initiatives and we have outlined our concerns to government.
