GUELPH POWER AND SAIL SQUADRON A UNIT OF CANADIAN POWER AND SAIL SQUADRONS "Providing Safe Boating Courses in the Guelph Area since 1962"

Membership

The Guelph Power and Sail Squadron has been providing recreational boating courses to Guelph area residents since 1962. The Squadron currently has approximately 170 members (2011). For almost 50 years, our volunteers have been promoting boating safety in the community through training.

To qualify for Regular Membership, candidates must successfully complete the CPS Boating Course. One can also qualify for Associate Membership by successfully completing a course in boating basics (PCOC Certification).

After successful completion of the CPS Boating Course, members can proudly fly the coveted CPS flag (displayed at top left of this page), which represents a earned level of boating competence.

Guelph members can also fly the Guelph Squadron Burgee (displayed at the top right
of this page). Other Squadrons have their own individual Burgees.

CPS members receive a subscription to "Canadian Yachting" magazine, which includes the CPS publication "Port Hole".

Many companies offer discounts to CPS members. For example, some insurance companies offer significant discounts on boat insurance to CPS members. The discount is based on the number of CPS courses successfully completed.
