Nestled along the Port Credit waterfront with stunning views of the Toronto skyline, PCYC offers year-round access by land or water. Our clubhouse features casual and formal dining, event spaces, and a welcoming atmosphere for gatherings of all sizes.
Once you become a member, we host two Spring and two Summer New Member Orientation sessions, each lasting approximately two hours. We treat you to your favorite beverage and explain how the club operates, including our staff, Commodore, Vice Commodores, Directors, communication channels, the Navigators program, and more.
We also explain how you can get involved by joining a committee or working group—one of the best ways to meet fellow members and become part of the PCYC community.
The orientation concludes with a guided tour of our clubhouse, grounds, and docks. New members consistently tell us they appreciate the personalized and welcoming approach.
