It’s Back – Safety And Flare Return Days 2019

Safety Days

June 10, 2019

Finally the news that we have been waiting for. On May 15th the Minister for Transport Canada approved our funding request to continue the Safety and Flare Return Days program for the next three years. 

Squadrons can now begin contacting local marine retailers to see if they wish to participate with them in an event this season.

A Safety and Flare Return days 2019-2021 Squadron and Retailer Request and Information Form has been sent to all Squadron and District Commanders and they have been asked to complete this form with the Squadron’s partner retailer and send the request for an event to my attention, jgullick@cps-ecp.ca with a cc to Mike Smith, equinoxm@cogeco.ca.

A total of 35 events across the country will be approved this year which is about the same number as we approved in 2017. In 2020 and 2021 we will be able to hold up to 50 events each year.

We will review the requests, select a good cross section of locations across Canada and then inform Squadrons and provide them with all required information and materials that they will need. CIL Orion will send the necessary shipping cartons and instructions direct to the retailers.

For those of you who held events in the past you will see few, if any, changes to the program.

2019 Dates and locations are available here. Check back often as more dates are added.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at jgullick@cps-ecp.ca

John Gullick,
Government and Special Programmes Manager

In 2022, we were fortunate to meet with volunteers and members in traditional meetings, the spring training/membership meeting, and the fall conference. The restrictions imposed by the pandemic protected us and we are grateful for that, but it also made us realize the inestimable value of meeting in person once they were lifted.

Pursuit S268 Sport CC

By Andy Adams

The Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console is a do-it-all kind of boat with a solid sense of style. Centre console designs have been developed for the southern blue water sport fishing enthusiasts (and this boat would raise fish with the best of them) but the Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console offers far more utility and enjoyment than just fishing.

Ron and Pat Reder started out in October 1984 across the road from where they are right now on the Bayfield River in Bayfield ON. The store front was about 10 x 20 and the rest of that side of the building was a stock room, wood finishing room, then behind that was more back stock and the lunchroom. Expanding every few years for the store front, then moving over to this new building five years ago, this year with Adam, Shelley, and Holly are carrying on the business.
