Welcome to Etobicoke Yacht Club! We are nestled in a large sheltered harbour on the west side of Humber Bay on Lake Ontario. Only 15 minutes west of downtown Toronto, we are close to all the big city has to offer, and at the same time, have the seclusion of Humber Bay Park. |

To help save trees and money, EYC is striving to reduce the number of copies of The Signal that are sent through the mail. Many of our members have switched to the "eSignal". If you still wish to receive a paper copy of The Signal, just inform the office. Otherwise, you are welcome to pick up a copy in the Duty Office. Click here for the March Issue of the eSignal! The Steve Reid “Bounce Back” Event DATE CHANGE to Saturday, March 20th As many of you already know, Steve had an unfortunate ladder accident this winter which left him with serious injuries. Although Steve is far from being “out of the woods” yet, with his determination he has been making tremendous progress in his recovery. To acknowledge his awesome efforts at recovery and rehab, his friends are hosting a social event for him on Saturday evening, March 20. We will party hardy, but with a purpose. We’d like to take the opportunity to do some fund raising to help defray some of Steve’s unexpected costs.
Weather Seminar Start time on April 9 is 19:00. Curfew is 21:30. Cost is $15 or $5 Canada’s favourite Weatherman, Ron Bianchi, will talk about the nature and behaviour of the atmosphere and how that affects the sailor. Read more… |
