ZZYC (Zig Zag Yacht Club) is Clearwater Bay’s social and activity centre. Located on an island in Lake of the Woods, 2 hours east of Winnipeg, we serve the area surrounding Clearwater Bay. The Club offers its member and guest families access to programs and social events during the months of July and August. Programming includes programs like sailing, summer fun, tennis, and fitness. Our social events include Canada Day fireworks, Dinner events, and Family BBQ.

ZZYC is looking for a new Club Director. The Club Director will work part-time between September and April, with increased and full-time hours from May to August.
This position is suitable for an individual who seeks a lighter, flexible work schedule in the colder months.

We are looking for a minimum of a 2-year commitment. Annual compensation is in the range of $25,000 to $35,000.

From October to May, work can be performed remotely. During the months of June and September, some time will be required on the island. During July and August, the Club Director is expected to be resident on the island. The Club has a private apartment for the Club Director, running potable water, laundry, bathrooms, internet, has cell phone coverage, and a boat is provided.
