Sponsor a Dock Ladder
View PDF
Inspired by a tragic incident one winter, members of Blue Heron Power & Sail Squadron coordinated installation of sponsored dock ladders along the Charlottetown waterfront. The first locations for these ladders were the marinas at Charlottetown Yacht Club and Quartermaster Marina. Sponsor one of these sturdy aluminum ladders for $200. A 9" x 5" plaque will be placed at the ladder displaying your name or business. To confirm your sponsorship please contact Greg MacKay at 902-566-6777 or use our email form on Contact Us.
