The safety and well-being of participants, volunteers, staff, visitors and community at large continues to be top priority for the CORK Board of Directors and the ILCA North American class. As a result, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Laser Canadian Championships.  This event was originally scheduled for July 2-5 2020 at Portsmouth Olympic Harbour in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.  CORK is now set to host the Laser Canadian championships in 2021.  We look forward to announcing the dates and details in the coming months.

The CORK leadership continues to closely monitor all developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic. CORK will continue to prepare for events scheduled later in the 2020 season following the necessary measures recommended by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), provincial and municipal health authorities and Sail Canada. The CORK leadership remains engaged with the City of Kingston and the local health authority to develop a plan on how events might be conducted as restrictions are eased. Decisions to host each event in 2020 will be made not later than 45 days ahead of the scheduled start date.

Our wish is for everyone to continue to stay safe, practice physical distancing and follow the guidelines and recommendations of your local government.

Thank you for your understanding and support during this difficult time.

The CORK Board

Dear friends,

The situation with respect to CORK events remains uncertain. On one hand, the City has changed the previous order that recreational facilities will remain closed until 31 August to be “until further notice”, and as you will read below, City staff are conducting annual maintenance at the two municipal marinas. On the other hand, there is a strong feeling that Kingston and area has a very good situation with respect to the number of COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and fatalities (zero), and this should be protected against infection arriving from beyond the local area. The CORK leadership remains engaged with City Council, City staff and the local health authority. We will let you know as soon as we have the appropriate direction and can decide on our events.

Stay safe.

Jamie Fraser CORK Board Chair
