Register for Free Canadian Power & Sail Squadrons Courtesy Checks

Canadian Power & Sail Squadrons (CPS) is offering free Recreational Vessel Courtesy Checks (RVCC) during the 2011 boating season. This program is one of many supported through Transport Canada’s Class Contribution Program that was launched last year.

The RVCC program involves appropriately trained CPS volunteers across Canada who conduct a short safety check of a vessel to verify that boaters have all the required safety equipment on board. The check, which is focused on safety equipment, takes 20 to 30 minutes. At the end the check is marked as either complete or incomplete. A complete check receives a CPS-RVCC sticker.

The CPS-RVCC program is a great opportunity to ensure that your boating customers have an enjoyable and safe time on the water. Contact CPS if you would like to hold a courtesy check day at your marina, yacht club or a local launch ramp.
