Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons(CPS)
is a nationwide association of boating enthusiasts, dedicated to
improving boating safety through training.
Each year, CPS members teach a variety of courses to concerned
boaters in the general public across Canada. CPS is well known for
its Boating Course, which is the
primary course offered to the public. The Boating Course is just
one of the many courses offered by Royal
City Squadron.
See what Royal City Squadron has to
offer! We have beginner and advanced
Boating Courses, a newsletter, The
Mainsheet which has the latest Commander's report, an Events
Calendar so that you can see our upcoming events that we have
planned, and our Ship's Stores so
that you can order a sweat shirt or other regalia items if you like.
We also have a knowledgeable volunteer staff
that have years of dedication to both the Canadian Power & Sail
Squadron (CPS) and the boating community.
Royal City Squadron is just one of the many squadrons comprising
Pacific Mainland
District, most of which are located in the Greater Vancouver
area.
