vantage Point A MESSAGE FROM YOUR NEW CHIEF I am writing this after returning from the 2022 National Conference and AGM. Like the beginning of a new year, I am energized by the resolutions that the board of directors intend to keep. Some of these resolutions are imposed on us in a relationship or financial context. I will mention a few here. On the relationship front, we have all become aware of the breaches in the chain of communication and have decided on a more frequent schedule for communiqués to the membership. Conversely, members are encouraged to share their ideas and requests through existing bodies, such as administrators of different levels, squadrons and districts. Chief Lise Blais-Huot Photo by Valentin Baclu The most active squadrons have taken the initiative to offer help and support to struggling squadrons or to those somewhat afraid of new technologies. All you have to do is ask. Financially, we are implementing recovery measures, such as diversifying course delivery methods to reach new boaters where they expect to find the training they need. You may have already noticed the organization's growing presence on social media. In addition to the communiqués from the national office, several squadrons are regularly posting on their own sites. I wish you a happy holiday season with your loved ones. I also wish CPS-ECP returns to being the reference in terms of boating knowledge as it was in the past. Boating is more fun when it is safe! ■ JOIN US NEXT OCTOBER IN WINDSOR, ONTARIO Scan the code for more details Vision CANADIANYACHTING.CA 43 48' 46' 44' 42'
