Read MoreHello Sakinaw Lake!
As many of you know, we were planning on the 2nd annual fireworks show on August 2nd. As of right now the show is postponed until a later date due to the dry conditions. The fireworks were set off in the middle of the lake far away from cabins and trees, but with these dry conditions we do not want to take any chances.
We had great feedback from last year and planned an even bigger show, but we will wait until conditions improve.
Thank you for your understanding.
Sincerely,
Ken Johnston.
PS. This is a non-sanctioned SLSBC event, no club funds are used to purchase fireworks.

Unfortunately, we do not have enough people registered for the clinic this weekend so we have to cancel it. Thank you for those of you who registered, we will refund you the money shortly.
Please remember that Karina Nowlan will be back at the lake on August 7th – 9th, book now to get your spot! We need a minimum for this clinic as well, so don’t leave it until the last minute. Thanks to Barb & Marty Aidelbaum for hosting Karina for the August clinic. We still require boats and drivers for this clinic…..and skiers!
Sincerely,
Your SLSBC Executive Team

The season got off to a great start with Karina Nowlan and the boys from the Boardroom at the lake July 10th -12th. Karina’s clinic was sold out right at the last minute, thanks to all the participants! We have had some great feedback, everyone enjoyed the clinic and we even had some new personal bests!
The Boardroom brought some amazing equipment for the lake to try, the weather did not seem to dampen people’s experience. Remember you can still get great deals from the Boardroom on West 4th in Vancouver or on Lonsdale in North Vancouver. Just mention you are a member of the club and you will receive a 20% discount.
The next clinic is Cove watersports, they will be here to teach wakeboarding, skiing, and surfing. Please sign up right away to make sure you get your spot. Please register here.
The clinic is Friday, July 24th – Sunday, July 26th.
We require a host family for Liam, please email info@slsbc.ca We also require people that are signing up for the clinics to volunteer their boat and some driving time. Please let us know if you are able to help out.
Sincerely,
Your SLSBC Executive Team
