Help improve boating safety in Canada!

CPS is a nationwide organization of men and women interested in all facets of recreational boating, in all manner of boating venues, from small lakes and rivers to the world's oceans. No matter where a CPS member travels in this great country, a CPS squadron is close at hand, and a warm welcome is always assured.

Wherever you see the CPS Member Flag flying, you know you are among friends.

Graduates of the Boating Course now receive a one-year complimentary membership in the organization. As well, anyone successfully passing the CPS - PCOC exam receives a free one-year Associate membership

Regular membership entitles you to vote on squadron matters and to stand for election as an officer of the squadron to help direct its affairs. Regular members are entitled to fly the Member Flag on their boats -  a symbol of knowledgeable boaters for over 60 years.
