Now the province is in a State of Emergency, we are being told to Stay Home and no group gatherings by both the Premier Stephen MacNeil and Nova Scotia’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Robert Strang, the executive has decided, Dobson Yacht Club will comply with these instructions. The provincial government via Sail Nova Scotia has asked clubs throughout the province to converse the following to their members: Provincial directives to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 apply to all individuals, including sailors and sailing clubs. Please stay in your home or neighbourhood and avoid all non-essential travel. Effective April 11th 2020 Dobson Yacht Club will close all access to outdoor storage yards, wharves, moorings, docks, and indoor facilities, except for essential services.
