Royal City Squadron is a unit of
Canadian Power & Sail Squadrons - Escadrilles canadiennes de plaisance
National Website: http://www.cps-ecp.ca

 

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.

To locate squadrons in other areas of Canada, please see the CPS National web site.
