It’s Back – Safety and Flare Return Days 2021

Safety Flare Return Day

Apr 8, 2021

So far we have 22 Squadrons who have requested events and we can take about 10 more requests. Squadrons who wish to offer events can now contact local marine retailers to see if they wish to participate with them in an event this season.

A Safety and Flare Return days 2021 Squadron and Retailer Request and Information Form was sent late last year to all District Commanders for distribution to their Squadrons 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. In 2022 we will be able to hold up to 45 events.

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.

2021 dates and locations are available here. Check back often as more dates are added.

If you have any questions or require a Squadron event request form, please feel free to contact me at jgullick@cps-ecp.ca

Government and Special Programmes Manager

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.

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.
