Jericho Sailing Centre

English Bay Safety Seminar
2023-05-29 19:00 - 20:30 (America/Vancouver) | Jericho Sailing Centre, 1300 Discovery St, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6R 4L9, Canada
The English Bay Safety Seminar was developed for users of the Jericho Sailing Centre to help keep them safe at play while on the waters of English Bay. The seminar covers basic water safety fundamentals along with user specific information drawn from the logs of the Jericho Rescue Team who have intervened in thousands of “sea disasters” over the past 45+ years.
Why make your own mistakes when you can learn from the mistakes of others? Don’t challenge Darwin’s theory, make sure your water safety knowledge is the fittest it can be. Your survival may well depend upon it. Find the missing links and fill in the gaps in your water safety knowledge by attending a FREE English Bay Safety Seminar. JSCA membership not required!
