Bridging Communities Celebration

Bridging Communities Celebration, May 25, 2008

Parade of Boats

A combined fleet of approximately 35 power and sail boats representing the Kelowna and the Westbank Yacht Clubs,
3 dragon boats, 1 war canoe, 1 kayak and the Fintry Queen all led by KYC commodore Jack Kavanagh
braved strong winds and rain to help celebrate the opening of the new William R. Bennett bridge.

While weather conditions were less than ideal, the high spirits of the skippers and crews that participated made lite of the situation.

Among the parade participants were 3 members of Kelowna Squadron - CPS: Greg Winton, Leo Van Pelt and Will Stelzer
and their crews who provided the necessary course outline to provide order for the procession.

Thanks to all who took the time to ensure that KYC's participation will be forever recorded in the pages of Kelowna’s history books.
