DSA-A 2010 Annual General Meeting

The 2010 DSA-A Annual General Meeting will be held on Saturday, June 19th between 2 pm and 4 pm at the DSA-A Sailing Centre, South Glenmore Park in Calgary. Member BBQ to follow.

DSA-A Change of Address

Please note that we have a new mailing address for our Association:

Disabled Sailing Association of Alberta
P.O. Box 36091
Lakeview Post Office
Calgary, Alberta
T3E 7C6

As of April 2009, DSA-Alberta is no longer operating out of the Bonaventure Drive Office. We are rather excited about the move, as it means a great deal of savings to the Association. As a result, the Business Manager's office will be located at the DSA Sailing Centre at South Glenmore Park during the months of May thru to the end of September each season.

Thanks,

Disabled Sailing Association of Alberta

New Facilities and Docks - Aug. 2005

This summer when you come down to the resevoir, the Atco trailor which was our home for so many years, will be gone! The legacy left behind from Mobility Cup 2005 includes a new, larger facility and a brand new wooden dock to call our own! Read about it in our Community Report. The facility is located south from the Boat Patrol office, below the Sailing School in the boat storage lot. Look for the signs, wooden dock and our staff with the yellow lifejackets.
