Bluenose Power & Sail Squadron

Bluenose Power & Sail Squadron We teach navigation and safe boating skills to anyone interested in learning. Under the direction of the Detroit Power Squadron, Fred Dane, George Ruel, and G.

CPS-ECP is recognized as the largest organization of its kind in the world, the foremost educational boating authority in Canada, a consultant with Canadian Coast Guard, and an advisor of aids to navigation for the Canadian Hydrographic Service. In 1938, three members of the Windsor Yacht Club crossed the Ambassador Bridge into Detroit, Michigan. William Bowman passed the United States Power Squad

ron’s Junior Piloting Course. They soon formed the first Squadron in Canada, Windsor Power Squadron, with G. William Bowman as its first Commander. He later became the first Chief Commander of Canadian Power Squadrons, the organization that later became known as Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons/Escadrilles canadiennes de plaisance, or CPS-ECP, with over 23,000 members in 150 squadrons across Canada. CPS-ECP's mandate is to increase awareness and knowledge of safe boating by educating and training members and the general public, by fostering fellowship among members, and by establishing partnerships and alliances with organizations and agencies interested in boating. To this end, many local law enforcement agencies and municipal authorities consult CPS-ECP on matters of training and navigational hazards. Training has been given by CPS-ECP’s members across Canada to such organizations as the Boy Scouts, Sea Cadets, and law enforcement agencies, to name but a few. Whenever requested, our members are available to teach, lecture, or advise on boating safety.
