Disabled Sailing Association

I have the pleasure to tell you today about an association in Victoria that has been a part of my life for 4 years. The Disabled Sailing Association is a non-profit organization out of Esquimalt harbour that gives lessons, cruise sails, and takes trips to the Easter Seals Camp in Shawnigan during the summer to those who are living with disabilities. The summer is coming up and they will be looking for volunteers. If you are interested, contact the Recreation Integration Victoria at (250)477-6314.
