Long time NSC and NCASA Member Aaron Wong Awarded King Charles III Coronation Medal
Aaron Wong-Sing , a long time member of the 
Nepean Sailing Club and the National Capital Able Sail Association was recently presented with the King Charles III Coronation Medal at a ceremony in Vancouver BC. As stated in his nomination, Aaron is undeterred by barriers and has contributed significantly through both his federal public service and his role in able-bodied sports and volunteer work.
Aaron first joined NSC in 2006 when he moved to Ottawa from Vancouver and a co-worker suggested that he join the able sail program at NSC. Aaron participated in four Mobility Cups before deciding to purchase his own 2.4 Meter sailboat. Aaron (along with Christine Lavallee) joined the North American 2.4mR competitive 
circuit competing in ISAF World Cup events in Miami 2010 through 2015, World Paralymic Sailing Championships in Charlotte Harbour, Florida and Halifax, NS as well as numerous North American and Canadian Championships. Aaron was a member of the Ontario Sailing Team from 2010-2017. In 2013 Aaron won a Bronze Medal in Sailing at the Canada Games in Sherbrooke, Quebec and in 2017 followed this up by winning a Silver medal at the Canada Games in Gimli, MB.
Aaron’s contribution at NSC was more than just as a competitive sailor. He was a member of the sailing committee, was on the organizing committee for the 2012 Mobility Cup 
hosted by Nepean Sailing Club and the National Capital Able Sail Association and in 2019 was the co-chair of Mobility Cup. Aaron was a long time director of the National Capital Able Sail Association and served as its chair for three years. Aaron was also the treasurer of the Canadian 2.4 mR Class Association.
Aaron moved to Vancouver in 2022 to be closer to his family. He still actively sails out of Jericho Sailing Centre with the Adaptive Sailing Association of Vancouver.

After 9 races Sarah slipped into the medal race in 10th place. Gold and Silver were already established, Bronze was up for grabs but out of Sarah’s reach. This didn’t prevent her from fighting for that which was in reach and she jumped ahead of France and the US to land herself in 8th.
Congratulations Sarah!!!
