Show your appreciation by nominating Volunteers for Awards

CPS-ECP Volunteer Nominations

Feb 8, 2024

It’s that time again! This year you might know someone who has gone to extraordinary lengths for CPS-ECP.

AWARDS:  Volunteers are the heart and soul of CPS-ECP.  The Board would like to thank and recognize all our volunteers.  The eligible awards are: Volunteer of the Year; Officer of the Year; Instructor of the Year; Electronic Course Instructor of the Year; Environmental Award; Squadron of the Year and District of the Year.  Please note the submission deadline is June 30th, 2024.

The overall winner in these categories will now travel to and stay at the National Conference in Windsor, Ontario at no cost to themselves. This is a big step CPS-ECP is taking to enable winners to attend in person and really be celebrated.  The awards will again be presented in a special ceremony on the Friday night instead of at the end of the long Saturday AGM. Both changes are to make the awards more special to the winners.

We are also continuing the Squadron Star Trophy for new memberships and the District Bell Award for membership renewals. And, as with the National Awards, the Membership Officer of the winning Squadron of the Star trophy will travel to and stay at the national conference at no cost to themselves. No nominations are required for the Star Trophy or the Bell award as they will be determined by the Membership Committee for membership sign-ups and by renewal statistics. 

So, please consider nominating someone for one or more of the 7 National Awards. We all know someone deserving and this is a special way for all of us to say, “THANK YOU!”

A new fillable Nomination form can be found on the CPS-ECP website under – My Member’s Area; 02, Our Organization; Awards; CPS-ECP Awards: Description and Applications.


Nominations must be submitted to the Chair of the Awards Committee, Glen Blake, by email no later than the end of day June 30th, 2024, at balaena@telus.net or to CPS-ECP National Office at hqg@cps-ecp.ca.

The Whitsunday Islands

By Mathew Channer

On my first day as a commercially registered yacht captain, I sailed a Fontaine Pajot 38 catamaran from mainland Australia across the Whitsunday Passage to the western shores of the world-famous Whitsunday islands.

We cruised northeast on a 15-knot beam reach… perfect catamaran sailing conditions, watching the hazy shapes of the islands colourize and morph into crescent beaches, jungled ridgelines and rocky outcrops.
