The Toronto Garrison Sailing Club (TGSC) is co-located with HMCS York in downtown Toronto. TGSC is a self-help organization - the membership participates in a variety of activities to support the club including: maintenance of the foreshore and clubhouse, organization of social events and sail training. TGSC welcomes all members of the Military Community, their dependants, and DND employees.

The aim of TGSC is to:

  1. Promote the activity of sailing for the Military Community, their dependants, and DND employees within the Toronto area,
  2. Provide an opportunity for friendly relationships through club meetings and gatherings,
  3. Develop members' skills and ability through club instruction and lessons; and,
  4. Gather together the members of the Toronto Garrison community who share their interest for sailing.

TGSC is established under the authority of QR&O 4-61 as amplified by CFAO 50-2 and CFAO 50-20.

Welcome to the Toronto Garrison Sailing Club

I am delighted to have the privilege of serving as Commodore of this wonderful group of mariners on the Toronto waterfront. Our facilities at HMCS York, with the support of the Commanding Officers of HMCS York and Area Support Unit Toronto, offer astonishing value to members of the Canadian Forces in the heart of the GTA. If you have a boat, or not - sail, or would like to learn to sail - you probably want to know about us. From superb instruction in the Canadian Yachting Association White Sail Courses Level One, Two and Three using our fleet of eight Albacores, or the Basic Yachting Course using our two Shark 24s, to the Lift-In Party, Fleet Sail-Past, Summer Pig Roast, and Fall Social, we are an eclectic group that will continue to engage and delight. As Toad of Toad Hall says in Wind In The Willows, “There is nothing, absolutely nothing, quite so wonderful as mucking around on the water in boats." He may have it right. Come join us and find out. I look forward to meeting you.

Captain (N) Gary Hatton
Commodore
