Boating Education - Brockville
Courses & Information for Recreational Boaters
Canada's National Boating Educator
Welcome to the Brockville Squadron of the Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons®. The CPS's goal is:
"Safe Boating through Education."
So, the most important thing we do is to offer Courses!!!
In support of our very active educational program, we have a local membership in the mid-200's, monthly meetings of the Bridge, an annual general meeting and occasional social meetings (see Events). Add to that a vigorous collection of bon-vivants and general roustabouts, and you have quite the dynamic organization!

Squadron BurgeeIf you would like a Brockville Squadron Burgee (upper left), contact the Regalia Officer. Gold BarAs of 2005 June, we added a gold bar to our burgee, recognizing fifty years as a Squadron. They cost $30 each (price reduced due to economies of scale!), all inclusive.

Canadian Coast Guard - Officer Training ProgramThinking of a career as a Coast Guard Officer? |
VolunteersSpeaking of volunteering, we always welcome people willing to serve. Foremost, people teach or assist with many of our courses. Secondly, we can always use a little help on the Bridge, which meets monthly and performs functions to support our training program and our membership. Volunteering introduces you to lots of interesting boaters, and is a great way to make an important contribution while expanding your own boating horizons. Inquiries welcome! |
Squadron Email ListWe maintain a Brockville Squadron Email Address List. See an explanation from our Electronic Communications Officer. We keep this list completely confidential! No member addresses will appear in any "mass emailings", and of course it is only for local Squadron use. If you're not sure whether you're on the list or not, then please sign up - it will make the work of your hard-working volunteer Bridge officers much easier, and they deserve every break they can get! From the Bridge page, email the "Electronic Communications" Officer. Remember to update your address with us if it changes. Thank you! |
Beyond Education: Insurance!We are first and foremost an educational organization. Next to that, many members find the major benefit of membership is the really amazing discounts - and stellar service, with the CPS-sponsored agent - on our boat insurance. The savings on insurance much more than compensate for our very low annual dues. Check it out on the CPS web site - click on "Benefits." Also, check our own Pat Sayeau's insurance endorsement. |
