Broad Reach is always seeking candidates to the Board Directors, standing and ad hoc committees. The Board meets monthly downtown Toronto. Directors are required to actively participate on Board Committees, at events and to support Broad Reach fundraising initiatives. Running a charity is a serious and demanding responsibility – especially with limited financial resources.
Interested candidates with relevant experience, values and appropriate level of professional and personal commitment are invited and encouraged to contact us at [email protected] – we will do our best to ensure that you have a rewarding and impactful experience.
You are also welcome to forward your expression of interest letter to our Executive Director, Marguerite Pyron at [email protected].

Only because of the generous donations of our many supporters are we able to continue to offer youth the opportunities to experience our unique sailing programs.
