WEYBURN – The Weyburn Canoe and Kayak Club (WCKC) was at a crossroads, facing the possibility of scaling back programs or even shutting down without an influx of new volunteers
The club held a meeting on May 19 at the RM office to discuss its future and recruit new board members. While a few new members stepped up, more are needed to ensure the club’s survival.
“We got a couple of new board members we are still looking for more,” said Sandra Popescu, board co-chair, adding that some current members are preparing to step down, so they would like to have others ready to take their places.
Despite the challenges, the club is moving forward with its summer programming as planned. Registration for youth camps, scheduled for July 7, 14, 21, 28, and August 11 and 18, at Nickle Lake Regional Park will open soon.
To encourage participation, the WCKC is offering free seasonal memberships to new board members and their families.
Those interested in joining or supporting the club can email or visit the WCKC Facebook page for more information.
