Introducing Director Bertrand Daigle, S

Director Bertrand Daigle, S

Feb 27, 2020

Introduced to sailing by a friend, member of CPS-ECP, it was love at first sight for Bertrand who convinced his family to board with him in this adventure that lasted more than 15 years. After the purchase of the first sailboat, and a summer spent sailing, he quickly realized that navigation training was necessary for the safety of all members of his crew.

After completing the Boating Course and the VHF Radio Course, he was asked to serve on the board of his area squadron. Twenty-four years later, he is still engaged as a member of the Executive Committee of his squadron, on top of being involved on the Executive Committee of the Cartier District as an Education Officer for the last two years.
