engaging youth on board for free
For many years, as the snow begun to thaw, the boating community has gathered at the Boulevard Club in Toronto to celebrate the start of a new season. Marjorie Patterson was the original host and driving force behind YSTL, and now Broad Reach Canada carries on that tradition restoring Spring Thaw to its rightful place in the calendar of GTHA’s sailing and power boating community.
All proceeds from the 2023 Spring Thaw Luncheon will support programs which Broad Reach Canada has been providing to disadvantaged youth for 25 years – absolutely free of charge.
