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

New Boats: Beneteau Oceanis 34.1 – A Sleek, Good -Looking Delight To Sail

By Katherine Stone

There is nothing more that I enjoy than being with friends and messing about in boats. Messing about in brand-new boats on a champagne sailing day on Lake Ontario at the beginning of the summer doesn’t get any better. To have the new owner, Helmuth Strobel and Anchor Yachts dealer Pancho Jimenez aboard made it even more special, as they can also speak to what they truly enjoy about the boat. We keep our own boat in a harbour that has a long waiting list for boats over 35 feet, so this little gem would definitely fit the bill and feels like a much bigger boat. True to the spirit of the 7th generation Oceanis line, the 34.1 is built in Poland and replaces the 35.1. It is 1,000 lbs lighter, 14 cm narrower and has 29% more sail area.
