SISKA Suspends Covid19 Proof of Vaccination Requirement for In Person Events

  • Print
  • Email

Thank you for complying over the past several months with our Covid19 policy that required proof of vaccination in advance for members attending in person club events.

This policy was aimed at reducing the likelihood of transmission of the virus at club functions and to support members with other health issues that put them at greater risk of serious illness if infected.

In April, BC removed the proof of vaccination requirement for most events, services, businesses and activities, and the number and severity of Covid cases has continued to decline since that time.

Consequently, SISKA has suspended the proof of vaccination requirement for participation in club activities effective immediately.

Membership registration and emails about Covid19 have been revised in keeping with this change.

We sincerely hope that there is not a resurgence of some new variant of the virus in the future so that we are able to finally put this pandemic behind us and move on with our normal lives once again.

We will continue to monitor the issue and follow the advice of the Provincial Health Officer as required, including the reimposition of any COVID related measures if mandated.

SISKA strongly encourages members to become fully vaccinated and to take other precautions they consider appropriate to their situation, including distancing, hand hygiene and masking.

The BC Centre for Disease Control maintains a web page with comprehensive information about Covid19, including how to protect yourself, your family and your community and what to do if you suspect you have the virus, at http://www.bccdc.ca/health-info/diseases-conditions/covid-19 . 

 

South Island Sea Kayaking Association

The South Island Sea Kayaking Association - SISKA - is a non-profit organization dedicated to sea kayaking on Vancouver Island, particularly in the Greater Victoria area.


SISKA was formed in 2008 by like-minded kayakers to promote safety and skill on the water and to increase knowledge associated with the sport of kayaking. We also champion community causes relating to kayaking. Mostly though, we love to get together and go paddling. All skill levels will find a comfortable group to paddle with, while being provided with opportunity to step out of that comfort zone a bit and grow those skills.

Last year we had 621 paddlers join us on 79 paddles for a total of 420.40nm. So far in 2022 we've had 440 paddlers join us on 55 paddles for a total of 369.36nm

We hold a regular monthly meeting on the 4th Wednesday of the month.  The meeting usually involves a short business meeting followed by about an hour presentation by a guest speaker, and we've had some great ones. During the Cvid-10 pandemic we are conducting our meetings using zoom  Guests are welcome.  You can find information about our upcoming meeting by viewing our Calendar.  Meetings are not held during the summer when everyone is to busy paddling and in December.
