Dec 6, 2018

Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons (CPS-ECP) is accepting applications for Director positions from you the members of CPS-ECP, both men and women.

The role of a Director is to help manage or supervise the management of the activities and affairs of the Corporation (CPS-ECP), while assisting and determining the direction and operation of CPS-ECP.
