CPS-ECP Responds to a Crisis

AB Donations

May 11, 2016

CPS-ECP Members are part of a charitable family committed to making a difference in our community by helping others. Our friends and neighbours in Alberta need our help. The disaster in Fort McMurray is almost beyond our ability to grasp. There is a way for each of us to make a difference. If every CPS-ECP member sends $20 to the Canadian Red Cross – Alberta Fires Appeal, that will raise more than $400,000 to assist those who have lost so much. There are programs from Alberta and Canada to match your individual Red Cross donations.

Give now!

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.
