Milestones

Jan 24, 2019

Chief Commander Chuck Beall made some special presentations during the annual Staff Christmas Lunch on December 14, 2018.

Lynda Green, was presented with a plaque acknowledging her 30 years of service to CPS-ECP! Her work extends to many individuals in the organization including course material orders, Ship’s Store, volunteers, new members and student services. CPS-ECP has benefitted greatly from having Lynda on its National Office staff.

John Gullick, Manager of Government and Special Programs also celebrated his 20th Anniversary with CPS-ECP. John handles many programmes that include ROC(M), PCOC, Recreational Vessel Courtesy Checks, plus Safety Equipment Education and Flare Disposal Days to name a few. John is also a regular contributor to The Port Hole with his popular column called Just Ask John.

Alice Hinton received a Chief Commander’s Citation in appreciation for her return to the National Office after a brief retirement. Alice retired in August of 2017 from her full-time accounting position with CPS-ECP, but came back on a part-time/temporary basis in 2018 to help out during the busy time of our year. With a subsequent change of staff at the full-time bookkeeping position in April, Alice then agreed to take on an Accounting Supervisor’s role, on a part-time basis. Alice helped guide the accounting area through some challenges during the spring of 2018 and was masterful in bringing our books up to date to ensure a successful fiscal year-end audit.

To Lynda, John and Alice – Congratulations and Thank You!

The Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
