Why renew my membership? What are the benefits for renewing my CPS-ECP Membership? If you renew your CPS-ECP Membership there are a range of benefits available to you as a member. Recognition as a knowledgeable Boater, Canadian Yachting or Le Hublot magazines, On Board bi weekly online newsletter, representation to suggest improvements the Canadian Marine environment, and Benefits from marine and other suppliers excusive for CPC-ECP members only.

Have you checked out the CPS-ECP Member Benefits lately? Do you know that the savings offered by our Sponsors and Benefits suppliers will more than cover the costs of your CPS-ECP Membership? Example: Insurance and on the water marine service providers discounts more than cover the cost of CPS-ECP membership. As well these Sponsors are also supporters of the ideals and goals of CPS-ECP.

CPS-ECP has been aggressively reorganizing the Member Benefits program, so that it is more user friendly for our members. Our Sponsors and Benefit suppliers like the new approach because you, the member, can access them more easily. Because of this the Sponsors and Benefits suppliers have been revising and improving their offerings to the members. We have new benefit suppliers wanting to come on board.

So how do you access them? Your Membership Officers have PowerPoint(s) that they are showing at Squadron and District events, or at any other member events. Or you can go directly to the CPS-ECP website / Membership/ Member Benefits, and personally view the details of all benefits.

Can you afford not to renew your membership? More coming in the near future!!

…you understand now why you came this way.
