Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons (CPS) is a nationwide association of boating enthusiasts dedicated to improving boating safety through training. In 2013, the organization will celebrate it's 75th Anniversary.

Through its 75 years of operation, CPS has continued to grow and expand. CPS currently has a membership of 26,000 and over the years, more than 500,000 boaters have successfully completed the CPS Boating Course.  

CPS is a non-profit organization and its administrative and training activities (instructing, proctoring, organizing the classes, drafting the courses, etc.) are conducted by CPS members as unpaid volunteers.  Each year, CPS members teach a variety of courses to over 12,000 members of the general public across Canada. Many yacht clubs, recreational boating organizations, youth groups, local law enforcement agencies, and provincial and municipal authorities regularly request courses from CPS.
