AGMDid you realize that you do not need to be a member of the Canadian Power & Sail Squadrons to attend their Annual General Meeting and Conference?

Professionals in the boat business might be amazed at the educational and safety-related resources available through the organization, that you can recommend to your customers.

District Commander Marie Dosso of York West District along with the D/Cs of York East and Quinte Districts, Ivan Simokovic, Bill Thompson and all the CPS members, are looking forward to welcoming you to Toronto in 2022. Our AGM and Conference will be face-to-face this year, so that we can all enjoy the many attractions that this world class city has to offer.

The Conference venue, The Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel situated in the downtown core, allows easy walking access to many of these attractions. From Harbourfront, Lake Ontario and the Toronto Islands, to the historic Distillery District, there is so much for you to explore and to enjoy. Toronto proper also has several vibrant neighbourhoods offering shopping experiences and diverse and delicious culinary choices that make up the multicultural mix that is Toronto.

Glomex TV

Televisions on a boat are increasingly commonplace. With the simple-to-install Glomex Avior VT300 Omnidirectional TV/FM antenna from GA Communications, it's never been easier to bring analog and digital broadcasts onboard—at a price that's hard to ignore.

The most noticeable feature of the Avior VT300 antenna is its compact white, anti-yellowing radome. At only 4" dia. x 8" H and 8.8 oz., it's specifically made for smaller boats that can't accommodate large TV antenna domes and only need short range reception, depending on height and conditions. The amplifier allows the antenna to have an increase in gain with a 24.5 dB average to receive vertical and horizontal polarized TV signals simultaneously from 360°.
