Learn How You Can
Fill out our online application to initiate the process of becoming a member. We are a working club, so it is important that you understand the work obligations and the code of conduct outlined in our bylaws.
SCBC has reciprocal agreements with many clubs along Lake Ontario on both the Canadian and American shores. You can visit other boat and yacht clubs around the lake, and boaters from other clubs can visit us here.
During the boating season the Social Committee will host a variety of social events, generally one per month. These events include a New Members Night, Sail Past, a Pig Roast, Commodore's Ball and many many more activities.
