Welcome to the website of Lake St. Louis Squadron. We are a division of
Canadian Power & Sail Squadrons (CPS), which is a national,
not-for-profit organization of volunteers dedicated to teaching safe,
responsible boating. Our focus is on good seamanship and in-depth
navigational skills.
CPS has existed for almost 60 years and has approximately 30,000
members, coast-to-coast.
VHF marine radios require an operators permit “Restricted
Operator’s Certificate (Marine)”. The Coast Guard and other
authorities have been issuing warnings and fines to boaters who do not
have this permit. Several courses are being offered leading to this
certificate. See What’s New for details
The Pleasure Craft Operator Card (PCOC)
is now required for all operators of motorized pleasure craft. CPS
offers two courses leading to the PCOC,
Boat Pro &
Boating.
 The
Approved Boating Handbook and the seminar prepares you for the
Pleasure Craft Operator Card (PCOC) exam. The best of the PCOC
seminars available, this highly acclaimed seminar was one of the
first to be accredited by the Canadian Coast Guard.
Crossing the border? CPS is a provider of safe boating courses
approved by both Transport Canada and the U.S. National
Association of State Boating Law Administrators. |
More advanced courses such as
Seamanship,
Advanced Piloting,
and
Junior Navigator
are available and build on the knowledge gained in Boating.
In addition, we offer several elective courses. These include
VHF Marine Radio, and
Sailing.
Boat Pro or Boating are suggested prerequisites.
Help Wanted
Like most
volunteer organizations, we are constantly on the lookout for new
members who are willing to assist in the operation of the squadron. If
you are a member of CPS now, or planning to take a course and become a
member, and you can spare an hour or two per month, please contact
Commander Adrian Niderost, or Training Officer Wayne Young. We would be
delighted to discuss with you the various ways in which you could
contribute to the activities of the squadron.
Cdr.
Adrian Niderost
