Post AGM: Education Department news

Post AGM

Nov 25, 2021

For CPS-ECP members, the AGM is like New Year’s Day. It is a time to review the past months and set goals for the coming months (the famous resolutions).

In reviewing the past months, we have found that not all officers and instructors are comfortable with computer tools, both for teaching courses and for collaboration and communication.
So, what are the objectives of the Training Department? They flow naturally from these observations.

– For instructors: Facilitate the pairing of instructors experienced in online training with those who are not, in order to guide them.

– For officers: Prepare step-by-step Power Point presentations demonstrating the use of the MS TEAMS communication and collaboration tools in direct relation to the department.

In this post-pandemic era, Squadrons are slowly returning to the classroom. But it is clear that online learning is still in demand, especially for the self-study radio course. Squadrons have been experimenting with successful new approaches and the department will be holding meetings to demonstrate these approaches. Squadrons have mentored the self-study courses with weekly meetings that have helped build relationships with students to promote membership. Other squadrons implemented a hybrid format with students in the classroom and others taking the course remotely online.

These new ways of doing things can certainly be a source of inspiration for squadrons that are struggling to make a go of it.

Pursuit S268 Sport CC

By Andy Adams

The Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console is a do-it-all kind of boat with a solid sense of style. Centre console designs have been developed for the southern blue water sport fishing enthusiasts (and this boat would raise fish with the best of them) but the Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console offers far more utility and enjoyment than just fishing.

Ron and Pat Reder started out in October 1984 across the road from where they are right now on the Bayfield River in Bayfield ON. The store front was about 10 x 20 and the rest of that side of the building was a stock room, wood finishing room, then behind that was more back stock and the lunchroom. Expanding every few years for the store front, then moving over to this new building five years ago, this year with Adam, Shelley, and Holly are carrying on the business.
