2017 BC Sailing Annual Planning Conference
November 18, 2017

2. What can we do to unite clubs and schools to participate in BC Sailing and feel more engaged with BC Sailing?
How does your club support participation and registration of all participants and payment of the student fee?

3. Participant Numbers
BC Sailing collects participant numbers and specific data on participants for:
Sail Canada database and online sailor profile
viaSport funding applications to provide improved (and more widely available) BC Sailing-funded programs!
Analytics to assess gaps that need to be addressed in programming
Eg. Canada-wide drop off after CANSail 3, and again at CANSail 5
Is there a big jump in requirements between CANSail 3 and 4?
Are sailors remaining in the system, but joining race teams where levels are not given? Or are we losing sailors at certain ages? If so, we need to address how to keep those sailors engaged in another way.
Are some areas better at retaining sailors through the programs? What are they doing that is different?

4. CANSail Profile
Sailors must have an online profile with their CANSail progress updated through Checklick
Shows progress through the CANSail system
Helpful for sailors moving around the region or country
Easy access to CANSail certifications for sailors pursuing instructor/coach stream

5. What are the participant fees
Maintenance and future development of LTS courses
