Dear SALTS Community,

We are sharing the significant and perhaps unexpected news that the Board of Directors of S.A.L.T.S. Sail and Life Training Society has made the difficult decision to cancel the new schooner/Leonora project. 

For details, please read the full announcement.

SALTS was delighted to participate in Victoria’s Classic Boat Festival once again this year (our first in-person boat show since 2020)! It was wonderful to be back at this event and sharing SALTS with the community. It was a very busy event, and many people were welcomed on board for ship tours.

This event wouldn’t have been possible without the amazing volunteers who shared about the SALTS program and ships during the tours. Their stories and enthusiasm made for a great day – we couldn’t have done it without them, and we are so grateful!

If you would like to join us as a volunteer for future events, please visit our volunteer page or email info@salts.ca, so we can reach out ahead of upcoming events.

We're expanding our Shoreside team and hiring a Booking Manager!

Status: Full-time permanent with salary, employer 5% RRSP contributions, and health benefits, annual vacation and sick days

Location: The SALTS office (451 Herald Street)

Summary: In collaboration with other team members, the Booking Manager will provide client registration and communications for SALTS summer, group and day sail programs, and serve as liaison between clients and ship’s crews.

Thank you to everyone who has donated a boat to SALTS this year so far! Some of the recent donated boats to arrive at our docks include the Glasply 28 Command Bridge and the CLC Shellback, both of which have sold (pictured below). We are grateful that several other boats have also been donated recently and are on their way to SALTS, but we are still in need of more boat donations to hit our budget target for 2022. Our boat donation program has been a critical part of our funding for many years, so please help spread the word to support the SALTS programs and the young people who sail with us!
