CPS-ECP Responds to a Crisis

AB Donations

May 11, 2016

CPS-ECP Members are part of a charitable family committed to making a difference in our community by helping others. Our friends and neighbours in Alberta need our help. The disaster in Fort McMurray is almost beyond our ability to grasp. There is a way for each of us to make a difference. If every CPS-ECP member sends $20 to the Canadian Red Cross – Alberta Fires Appeal, that will raise more than $400,000 to assist those who have lost so much. There are programs from Alberta and Canada to match your individual Red Cross donations.

Give now!

We met with Neptunus Managing Director Jan Willem De Jong this past fall to take the new Neptunus 650F out in Lake Ontario.

The Other Virgin Islands

Sunset off St John

By Mark Stevens

I was first seduced by the United States Virgin Islands during a ferry ride from St. Thomas to Tortola to begin one of our earliest British Virgin Islands charters nearly twenty years ago.

A perfect sunset off St. John with St. Thomas views for backdrop.

Clearing Pillsbury Sound, surrounded by voluptuous emerald mountains as the ferry sliced through royal blue waters, I was struck by the unspoiled ambiance of St. John, the island gliding past our starboard beam and the irresistible charm of a village called Cruz Bay visible from our quarter stern.
