The Crew at the CPS-ECP National Office

Staff

Nov 23, 2016

At every National Conference and AGM that I have attended, including 2016 in Vancouver, a number of members have taken the time to come and say hello and to introduce themselves to me. I always try to do the same. These introductions are really good for me and the members I meet as it is always great to put a face to a name.

In many of my conversations with members they have told me that they had been dealing with various members of our staff for many years and they had never actually met them. They had spoken to staff on the phone or by email and dealt with them on various matters, but never had the opportunity to meet them. While we can’t always bring our staff to the national conference or to other gatherings of members, I felt it was important for you the members to meet our staff.

Here is the great crew that is pleased to work with you and assist you at the CPS-ECP National Office.

Today I introduce the entire National Office crew to you. Going forward, once each month, I will profile one of our staff members and the work that they do at the National Office. While these meetings are not in person, I hope that they will be a meaningful way for you to meet the great crew of staff we have at CPS-ECP.

Walter Kowalchuk – National Executive Director

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.
