Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons (CPS) is a non-profit, community organization that is operated by volunteers dedicated to providing safe boating education to communities across Canada. Nanaimo Power and Sail Squadron has been providing safe boating education to our community since 1956.

This year CPS is celebrating its 75th Anniversary with one special flag going west from Toronto through every squadron to the Pacific coast, and another is going east to the Atlantic coast.
