People running so far

Nominations for executive positions can also be made at the meeting itself.

Mike Rossiter: Commodore 

I am running for Commodore for a second term to continue the work and progress we have achieved this year. 2024 was an amazing season at APSC, with members coming together to enjoy all our club has to offer. Going forward into 2025, there are four key areas I would like to highlight to keep our club safe, happy, and prosperous:

Finances and Infrastructure. We have grown our revenues and are on a course to meet our infrastructure challenges. The reserve fund has functioned as intended and covered both the purchase of the new barge and the new docks, but next year it needs to be replenished. Continuing and expanding our new sources of revenue while maintaining a healthy membership level will be key. 

Clarity on rules and consistent enforcement. Our lease agreement with the TRCA is conditional on our following its terms. Member violations of driving rules or other lease stipulations must be dealt with consistently, quickly, and without bias.  The commodore’s role is to ensure these issues, and norms and rules about sharing our facility, are addressed in a timely manner.

Democratic decision making and transparency. Effectively chairing the executive and general meetings so that members know their voices are heard, and communicating about decisions and improvements to the membership are crucial aspects of the commodore’s job.

Supporting club culture through emphasis on social events and the race program. Post-covid, we have started to rebuild our vibrant and welcoming sailing culture. Thanks to our social and race committees we are again a place where families and friends want to share in their love of sailing together. This is the core of who we are, and it is the commodore’s job to see that those aspects of our club are supported and nurtured. 

If re-elected commodore, I promise to continue to work for the membership in these four key areas, and to represent the club effectively and honestly.

Gregory Graham: Membership Director

I would be honored to again serve as APSC's Membership Director for the 2024 sailing season.  I have held this position for a number of years now.  During my tenure, I have played a role in establishing the Fleet Boat class of membership and the Paddlecraft class of membership with a view to broadening the Club's appeal to a wider audience and strengthening the Club generally.  I believe both of these two new additions to the Club have been an enormous success (thanks in large part to the Fleet Captain (Adam Melanson and before Adam, Bill Hutton) and to our Member-at-Large, Tim Kirkwood).  I would be happy to carry on as your Membership Director

​

Slawomir Domurat: House and Grounds

As director of House & Grounds, I will continue to make Aquatic Park feel like your second home.  I am proud of my accomplishments so far, and next year if elected my main goals will be building a roof over the main deck and building a garage for the golf cart

​

Katie Grundy: Treasurer

I'm planning to run again this year for Treasurer. For those who haven't met me yet I'm Katie, I love to sail, and I had the pleasure of serving as APSC Treasurer for 2023. In my non-sailing life I recently finished my master's at U of T and now work as a Nurse Practitioner. I've previously held various board positions in student organizations including Financial Director of a non-profit, and I now have 1 year of experience under my belt as APSC Treasurer. I think with the knowledge I've gained this year I can continue to be of service to this club we love so much. I know we accomplished a lot this past year but I also know it will be important to rebuild our financial reserves in 2025, so conscientious spending will be all the more important. Thanks for your support and I hope for your vote!

​

Fred Chevalier:  Race Director

I am thrilled to express my candidacy for the position of Race Director. Over the past two years, I’ve had the privilege of serving as Race Director and have witnessed firsthand the incredible dedication and passion of our sailing community. 
 

With the exceptional teamwork of our racers, committee boat, and volunteers, we’ve had a journey of thrilling Wednesday races, weekend long races, and delightful dinners filled with laughter and shared tales of our Great Lake.
 

I humbly ask for your trust and the opportunity to continue leading our race program, and together, we’ll create yet another remarkable season on the water.

Fair winds and boundless enthusiasm,

Brian Burchell: Harbourmaster

I would welcome the opportunity to serve again in the Harbourmaster role in 2025

​

Daniel Aufgang: Communications

I am excited to continue to serve as Communications Director for the Aquatic Parking Sailing Club. In this role, I will maintain the website, send emails to our members, assist with social events, and manage general outreach efforts. Additionally, I plan to host monthly activities at the clubhouse in collaboration with the TRCA to increase awareness of our club and foster a stronger community.
