The Foundation members hope to fund projects that help keep CPS-ECP operating in a positive manner, and enable it to address the many changes faced in the day-to-day operations. The ability of the Educational Department to keep up with the ever evolving training needs is an ongoing challenge.

This donation has been made possible due to the support of individuals, Squadrons and Districts. For more information visit: www.cpsfoundation.ca
