Show your appreciation by nominating Volunteers for Awards

CPS-ECP Volunteer Nominations

Feb 8, 2024

It’s that time again! This year you might know someone who has gone to extraordinary lengths for CPS-ECP.

AWARDS:  Volunteers are the heart and soul of CPS-ECP.  The Board would like to thank and recognize all our volunteers.  The eligible awards are: Volunteer of the Year; Officer of the Year; Instructor of the Year; Electronic Course Instructor of the Year; Environmental Award; Squadron of the Year and District of the Year.  Please note the submission deadline is June 30th, 2024.

The overall winner in these categories will now travel to and stay at the National Conference in Windsor, Ontario at no cost to themselves. This is a big step CPS-ECP is taking to enable winners to attend in person and really be celebrated.  The awards will again be presented in a special ceremony on the Friday night instead of at the end of the long Saturday AGM. Both changes are to make the awards more special to the winners.

We are also continuing the Squadron Star Trophy for new memberships and the District Bell Award for membership renewals. And, as with the National Awards, the Membership Officer of the winning Squadron of the Star trophy will travel to and stay at the national conference at no cost to themselves. No nominations are required for the Star Trophy or the Bell award as they will be determined by the Membership Committee for membership sign-ups and by renewal statistics. 

So, please consider nominating someone for one or more of the 7 National Awards. We all know someone deserving and this is a special way for all of us to say, “THANK YOU!”

A new fillable Nomination form can be found on the CPS-ECP website under – My Member’s Area; 02, Our Organization; Awards; CPS-ECP Awards: Description and Applications.


Nominations must be submitted to the Chair of the Awards Committee, Glen Blake, by email no later than the end of day June 30th, 2024, at balaena@telus.net or to CPS-ECP National Office at hqg@cps-ecp.ca.

Nimbus 365 Coupe – A real long-stay cruising boat for exploring

By Andy Adams

There is no shortage of fun and exciting new boat designs hitting the market, but for the last few years these have been mainly outboard-powered day boats. Some are day cruisers; some are centre console fishing boats or designed for tow sports. A new live-aboard cabin boat has become a rare item these days.

So when I heard that Pride Marine in Orillia, Ontario, had a Nimbus 365 Coupe in the water, I jumped at the chance to get out on it.

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska

I’ve been to Tahiti seven times—six on charter and once as crew for a couple of yachties. Over the 25 years that I’ve been visiting, it’s changed dramatically. Yet, inexplicably, it has also stayed the same.

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
