 Hello Lake Side Buoys Members!


This short note is intended to inform those of you that we have two important General Membership meetings on the horizon.


The first, a Special General Meeting, will take place at NOON on Saturday, October 8, 2022 online via Discord. The main business of this meeting will be to outline the roles and responsibilities of a new Board Officer Position of Ombudsperson. This position was first proposed at last year’s Annual General Meeting on December 11, 2021, and was outlined in terms of responsibilities over the following months as described below:


Ombudsperson (Officer position)

• Independent, non-voting board member;

• Provides the General Membership with fiscal and administrative oversight of the Executive Board’s activities;

• Provides counsel to the Executive Board on matters of member discipline, conflict of interest and other complex member issues;

• Represents the interests of the General Membership and individual members to the Executive Board through advocacy and consultation.

• Ombudsperson handles complex member concerns while offering to maintain anonymity for the complainant unless specified otherwise by a complainant

- The anonymity offered by the use of pseudonyms and discretionary use of identifying

factors by ombudsperson in communications with board business related to any complaint

- Anonymity cannot be guaranteed to be maintained. Others may have witnessed potential

events or could use relevant context clues to decipher the complainant. This is beyond the

board’s control.

- In rare cases, when deemed necessary by the ombudsperson, anonymity concerning a

complaint cannot be maintained with the board to best understand the concern at hand.


The second, our Annual General Meeting/Winter Gathering, will take place on Sunday, December 11 at NOON, tentatively scheduled to take place at Dallas and Ryan’s complex. More details will be provided as we near the date, but you may wish to pencil it in now.


Finally, as we near the end of the Regular season, please remember to share your voices with us at our next home game on September 30: if you have orange scarves/shirts, it would be a great thing to wear them. Also, if you have any Membership dues to pay ($5 per year), please consider getting that to Greg or Mike so we can update our List. The money is essential for our yearly planning, which takes place to a large extent over the winter months.


Wishing you all a beautiful Fall season.


Greg Henkelman

Secretary/Treasurer, Lake Side Buoys

Lake Side Buoys 2022 Prideraiser Campaign Starts Now!

Hello all Lake Side Buoys and fans of Pacific FC! 

We are proud to announce that we will be raising funds this year for the Victoria Pride Society!  They are a non profit, volunteer based organization that is dedicated to supporting Greater Victoria's LGBTQ2+ communities.  They're most well known for organizing the annual Victoria Pride Festival & Parade, which obviously has not been real for the last 2 years. Nonetheless, they offer year-round programming and a vast directory of queer-owned businesses and resources.   

You can pledge any one time amount of whatever you like during this campaign, but why not make it interesting! The platform has been easily set up to accept a pledge for each goal scored across the 8 games.  We ask that you make a pledge of a minimum $1/goal, but would greatly encourage $5/goal.

Please be as charitable as you can!

As an additional note, a very generous offer has been made by an individual donor to match all funds raised by us during this event. So if we're able to raise $1000 in goal pledges, we'll be able to donate $2000! 

Thank you for helping us raise money for the VPS and showing how much the Lake Side Buoys care about our community!

Check out our campaign page to make your pledge!

Pre-Season Interviews with PFC

From the folks behind LSBTV: 

 "It's about time we come out of our long hiatus, and we've decided to make some changes. We'll continue to focus on promoting and exploring soccer supporter culture in North America, but we're doing it under a new name. We want everyone to HEAR THE NOISE."

And here's our first video after a very long break:
