Holiday Greetings from CPS-ECP

Holiday Greetings

Dec 21, 2023

I am confident to say that 2023 was a year of communication. Achievements in this area include the monthly publication of the Waypoint newsletter for officers, with everyone encouraged to share its information with all members. In addition, reports and informative documents were promptly published on the website for members to peruse, be they financial statements, workshops, meeting minutes or others.

The national meetings brought together various committees together in a single location to break down silo work and harmonize interventions. These meetings were held in hybrid mode, with in-person attendance and webcasting, so members who could not travel could attend.

The 2023-2025 action plan was implemented as soon as the Board adopted it, so some of its objectives have already been achieved.

The branding study was initiated last year with the help of Tennis, a specialized firm. It has been carefully and thoughtfully planned and is well underway.

Further changes are in store when the Board receives the reports of the two committees studying the organization’s governance and structures.

Everyone contributes to the organization’s life at their level, in their committee or department.

Yet everyone needs to put their work on hold and enjoy the festive season with their families.

I wish you all a wonderful holiday season and a healthy and rewarding 2024. 

Lise Blais Huot, SN
Chief Commander CPS-ECP

Until now, there hasn’t been an electric boat that really makes a statement. Enter the ENVGO NV1.

Canada’s Superior: the North Shore

Story and photos by Jennifer M. Smith

We’d been north before on a short two-week cruise. At the time, we were unprepared for the isolation, the lack of cell phone coverage, and the spotty VHF reception. Since then we’ve repowered, installed Starlink, and retired from work. Now, with confidence in our engine and our connectivity and more time to sail, we were Superior-ready.
