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

Throw away the box, this is some fresh thinking

Seemingly part sailboat and part spaceship, the new Jeanneau Yachts 55 just busted through the boundaries of traditional yacht design. I couldn’t take my eyes off the bubble hardtop that met me at the dock and I stepped aboard with trepidation. A few hours later, I was planning how to spend my not-yet-won lottery winnings.

Paving the Way to Cleaner Boating – How a Commitment to Reducing our Environmental Impact is Inspiring Cleaner Boating in Ontario

By Dave Rozycki

Over the past seven decades, Ontario’s marina industry has developed alongside some of Canada’s largest freshwater lakes. Boaters have been able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and create lasting memories on the water, with certain marinas dating back to the 1960s. As we reflect on this rich history, we can begin to see trends in how our footprint may have had an effect on the environment, in not-so-positive ways. However, by embracing innovative solutions and adopting sustainable practices, both marinas and boaters hold the key to preserving and enhancing the quality of our lakes and marine life for generations to come.
