Season's Greetings to all our Annapolis Volunteers!
The ARSBC Board of Directors would like to thank all of our incredible volunteers, contributors, and supporters who have helped out with the Annapolis project over the past year (and the year before that, and ...). The project has taken longer than we imagined or would have liked, but without your dedication and efforts, it would not be happening at all.
Particularly in the past few months we have started to see the transition towards a completed, clean ship get closer and closer. And, although we would love to continue that momentum, we realise that this is an incredibly busy time of the year for everyone, and the ARSBC Board wouldn't want to ask anyone to sacrifice time with their families and preparing for the holidays. So, we'll be taking a bit of a "volunteer hiatus" until January, and will once again head out to put the finishing touches on the clean-up effort.
Thank you again to everyone, and please keep your work clothes and tools at the ready - we'll be starting again on the weekend of January 7 & 8, 2012.

Who Supports the Annapolis Project?Since the start of the Annapolis project, the ARSBC has received over 1,000 letters and e-mails of support from scuba divers, the dive industry and community of B.C. and further afield (e.g., Washington State), the Squamish First Nation, former crew-members of the Annapolis, politicians, boaters, and the general public. The following is a sampling of some of these letters...

All hands on deck - the ARSBC needs you!! The Annapolis project has seen an incredible amount of support from divers around Vancouver, Washington State, and even further afield, but there is still more to do. We have volunteer outings almost every weekend. If there's a big enough group, we'll even throw a BBQ lunch!
