Annual Committee
Tree Decorating
Nov 26th, 2020
On November 26th, the committees came
together (but apart) to help create a festive
vibe in the Club with the Annual Committee
Tree Decorating. Masks were worn and
decorations were hung – it will definitely
be a year to remember but thank you to all
the committees that came out and brought
some joy and light into the club for the
holidays. The energy, planning and creativity
that went into these trees was truly inspiring.
The Minor Hockey tree and Membership tree
tied as the winning trees. Thank you to all of
the committees for making this a great time.
Tree Decorating
and Gingerbread Contest
With the ask from our PHO to stay home this past holiday season, we decided
to bring the magic of the season into the Club by hosting a tree and gingerbread
decorating party… the hitch was that the Christmas trees and the Gingerbread
houses were from our Members own homes.
Louis Oscar Holowaychuk: Zamboni Gingerbread While Camden chose to wear his finest NSWC gear, the Ablett boys actually made

NSWC Hockey
Gives Back
U13 Female
Over the holidays, 11 dedicated NSWC U13 Female Hockey
players raised $3,300 for @plancanada to give 11 girls the
means to study for a year. This was done through a virtual
skate-a-thon and a costume contest!
The girl’s original goal was to send 2 girls to school and
raise $600.
A huge congratulations to our U13 Female team for doing
such an amazing job and raising money and awareness for
the ‘Because I’m a Girl’ campaign! Everyone at the NSWC is
extremely proud of what you all were able to accomplish.
U13 – A2
The U13 A2 team would like to thank the NSWC families
who generously donated items for the Lookout Housing
and Health Society, a North Shore charitable organization.
The shelter has been supporting North Shore adults in
need for over 15 years. The shelter houses 47 beds and a
transitional unit.
Owen, Community Liaison Coordinator for the Lookout
Housing & Health Society was very grateful for the two car
loads full of donations, provided by our U13 – A2 team.
The players also made dozens of individually wrapped
cookies the shelter will use in lunches and snacks.
2020 has brought many challenges and the charities
have been greatly impacted by the covid restrictions. The
U13 A2 is proud to support our local community in these
difficult times. Thank you from the U13 A2 team
U11 – A3 & U9 Female
The U11 A3’s managed to collect over 8 boxes of food for
the Greater Vancouver Food Bank. A huge thank you to all
of the families of the U11-A3 and U9 Girls team, as well as
all the NSWC families who helped contribute food to those
who are in need. Cooper(U11-A3) and Ella Woeste (U9
Female), along with Rory Hall (U11-A3) were able to drop
off the food off on Dec 21, just in time for the holidays.
The Greater Vancouver Food Bank was super appreciative
of the efforts by the teams. It shows that if everyone helps
out a little, the efforts can go a long way.

Paul Shellard Memorial
Fall Classic Tennis
Oct 18th – Oct 24th, 2020
Thank you to members for playing the Paul Shellard Memorial Fall
Classic! The event was different than previous years with all Court
Viewing areas closed. The Organizing Committee did a great job
turning the Jim Graham Room into a fun themed Oktoberfest area
that allowed players a place to check-in, practice social distancing,
and watch Court #5 via livestream. Great matches, good friends
and laughs made the week a wonderful success!

The North Shore swim program, being only three stages in length, serves to cover our entire ten step swim program.
With this in mind, once you’ve found out what stage the child is in, clarify how far along the given stage the child is. Eg.
If they are in I CAN SWIM Stage two but only just passed into it and are still not quite able to swim ten meters of front
crawl but can kick on their front, back and side for 10m then they would move into Swim Kids 4 as they wouldn’t meet
the skills required for Swim Kids 5. If the parent truly has no idea but knows the child has been in the stage for a decent
amount of time, simply put them into the intermediate level of the Swim Stage there in.
