We are happy be a part of the renaming of the Adaptive Sailing Center at Sugden Park, this program teaches those with special needs the basis of sailing, as well as assists with teaching them life and socialization skills. The center will be renamed after a long-time employee of the Parks and Recreation Division and former Parks and Recreation Advisory Board member, Murdo Smith. He served 35 years in the Parks and Recreation Division. After his retirement he began volunteering for the adaptive sailing program. He was a calm presence on the dock, and everyone enjoyed working with him. After his passing the participants were deeply affected and it was proposed that they renamed the sailing center, Murdo Smith Adaptive Sailing Center.
