cluded another successful year

dents up significantly over the
last two years (225 and 190) and

Also on the horizon is our 50th
Anniversary on April 16th 2011
The planning committee is be-
ing co-chaired by Linda

relevant it is clear that CPS
has to change and of course
this generates lots of useful
debate at all levels that should
make our organizat ion

Gale force winds and high seas kept White Rock Power Squadron
members moored in home marinas the April 2 and 3 Easter weekend
A fast moving low pressure system brought gale to storm force winds
on the Georgia Strait wiping out a planned cruise to Poets Cove on
Pender Island
Marina management contacted the cruise master several times
inquiring about boat reservations and indicated on the Saturday that
storm damage had created electrical problems at the resort and some dock damage
Smoochee Too a squadron member had crossed to Port Browning on the Wednesday and did
go to Poets for Thursday and Friday reporting extreme weather conditions on April 2 and 3

May 2010 Report from PDC Jerry Powers SN Govrsquot amp Industry Liaison to PMD
1 CANADIAN COAST GUARD UPDATE
As part of the Second Narrows Review we can expect to see a number of changes to marine aids in the area
New sector lights are scheduled to be installed on Second Narrows Bridge expected completion of this work
was April 2010 however that is contingent on the outcome of a study of excessive vibration in the bridge
structure and its effect on the lights
Installation of structures for the new Port Moody Range henceforth to be known as the Caraholly Range is
currently scheduled for June 2010
Demolition of the old Pitt River Bridge commenced earlier this year but was suspended temporarily by
Fisheries An update on this project will be obtained later this month
It has been noted that signage in the vicinity of the old bridge is not the best boaters should exercise caution
when navigating the area
Users of VHF radio with DSC should be aware of a problem that exists where multiple radios are fitted
Receipt of an All Ships call could alarm all radios in a multiple installation thereby overriding or masking
critical communication Turning the additional radios off is not an option since that would end radio
communication For operational safety it is now necessary to disable DSC in all but one VHF DSC radio
interfaced to a GPS Industry Canada and Transport Canada are addressing the problem
It has been reported earlier that MCTS Pacific installed a CMB at Vancouver MCTS utilizing two peripheral
sites for its broadcasts Harbour Centre (VHF ch 83B) and Watts Point in upper Howe Sound (WX-1) First
broadcasts were scheduled for April 2010 the system is currently in a testing phase Boaters should be aware
that the CMB may not be receiving regular updates A NOTMAR will be issued when it is fully operable
Meteorological Services Canada (MSC) now issues wave height forecasts at 0400 and 1600 PST This change
gives marine forecasters more updated information and provides more timely information for Prince Rupert
and Tofino MCTS scheduled voice broadcasts
Kitsilano CCG base may be part of a strategic review No action is currently pending but it is rumored that the
current 24 hour staffing policy could be reduced to regular business hours CCG would have to guarantee a 30
minute response time if that were to happen
2 CHS UPDATE
The new 2010 Chart Catalogue has been published and released Users will note that it is one-half the size of
the previous issue
Chart 3493 of Vancouver Harbour is scheduled to be released soon It was originally scheduled for release just
prior to the Winter Olympics but that was delayed for various reasons
At the request of DND CHS is planning to issue a new Chart 3456 (130000) which includes all of the WG
area It also proposes to cancel existing Chart 3458 (120000) most of which will be contained within new
Chart 3456 Chart 3447 (110000) for Nanaimo Harbour will be retained Concerns about the cancellation of
Chart 3458 should be relayed to Dave Jackson at CHS (phone 250-363-6354 or e-mail DaveJacksondfo-
mpogcca)
3 OTHER ISSUES
Recent concern has been expressed about the state of numerous secondary channels and small harbours in the
Fraser River delta They are silting in and creating hazards to navigation as well as limiting access to port
facilities Port Metro and a host of other agencies have agreed to look at the problem Boaters using the Fraser
River are advised that the entrance to Steveston Harbour has been recently dredged

May 2010 Report from PDC Jerry Powers SN Govrsquot amp Industry Liaison to PMD
1 CANADIAN COAST GUARD UPDATE
As part of the Second Narrows Review we can expect to see a number of changes to marine aids in the area
New sector lights are scheduled to be installed on Second Narrows Bridge expected completion of this work
was April 2010 however that is contingent on the outcome of a study of excessive vibration in the bridge
structure and its effect on the lights
Installation of structures for the new Port Moody Range henceforth to be known as the Caraholly Range is
currently scheduled for June 2010
Demolition of the old Pitt River Bridge commenced earlier this year but was suspended temporarily by
Fisheries An update on this project will be obtained later this month
It has been noted that signage in the vicinity of the old bridge is not the best boaters should exercise caution
when navigating the area
Users of VHF radio with DSC should be aware of a problem that exists where multiple radios are fitted
Receipt of an All Ships call could alarm all radios in a multiple installation thereby overriding or masking
critical communication Turning the additional radios off is not an option since that would end radio
communication For operational safety it is now necessary to disable DSC in all but one VHF DSC radio
interfaced to a GPS Industry Canada and Transport Canada are addressing the problem
It has been reported earlier that MCTS Pacific installed a CMB at Vancouver MCTS utilizing two peripheral
sites for its broadcasts Harbour Centre (VHF ch 83B) and Watts Point in upper Howe Sound (WX-1) First
broadcasts were scheduled for April 2010 the system is currently in a testing phase Boaters should be aware
that the CMB may not be receiving regular updates A NOTMAR will be issued when it is fully operable
Meteorological Services Canada (MSC) now issues wave height forecasts at 0400 and 1600 PST This change
gives marine forecasters more updated information and provides more timely information for Prince Rupert
and Tofino MCTS scheduled voice broadcasts
Kitsilano CCG base may be part of a strategic review No action is currently pending but it is rumored that the
current 24 hour staffing policy could be reduced to regular business hours CCG would have to guarantee a 30
minute response time if that were to happen
2 CHS UPDATE
The new 2010 Chart Catalogue has been published and released Users will note that it is one-half the size of
the previous issue
Chart 3493 of Vancouver Harbour is scheduled to be released soon It was originally scheduled for release just
prior to the Winter Olympics but that was delayed for various reasons
At the request of DND CHS is planning to issue a new Chart 3456 (130000) which includes all of the WG
area It also proposes to cancel existing Chart 3458 (120000) most of which will be contained within new
Chart 3456 Chart 3447 (110000) for Nanaimo Harbour will be retained Concerns about the cancellation of
Chart 3458 should be relayed to Dave Jackson at CHS (phone 250-363-6354 or e-mail DaveJacksondfo-
mpogcca)
3 OTHER ISSUES
Recent concern has been expressed about the state of numerous secondary channels and small harbours in the
Fraser River delta They are silting in and creating hazards to navigation as well as limiting access to port
facilities Port Metro and a host of other agencies have agreed to look at the problem Boaters using the Fraser
River are advised that the entrance to Steveston Harbour has been recently dredged

Gale force winds and high seas kept White Rock Power Squadron
members moored in home marinas the April 2 and 3 Easter weekend
A fast moving low pressure system brought gale to storm force winds
on the Georgia Strait wiping out a planned cruise to Poets Cove on
Pender Island
Marina management contacted the cruise master several times
inquiring about boat reservations and indicated on the Saturday that
storm damage had created electrical problems at the resort and some dock damage
Smoochee Too a squadron member had crossed to Port Browning on the Wednesday and did
go to Poets for Thursday and Friday reporting extreme weather conditions on April 2 and 3

broadcasts were scheduled for April 2010 the system is currently in a testing phase Boaters should be aware
that the CMB may not be receiving regular updates A NOTMAR will be issued when it is fully operable
Meteorological Services Canada (MSC) now issues wave height forecasts at 0400 and 1600 PST This change
gives marine forecasters more updated information and provides more timely information for Prince Rupert
and Tofino MCTS scheduled voice broadcasts
Kitsilano CCG base may be part of a strategic review No action is currently pending but it is rumored that the
current 24 hour staffing policy could be reduced to regular business hours CCG would have to guarantee a 30
minute response time if that were to happen
2 CHS UPDATE
The new 2010 Chart Catalogue has been published and released Users will note that it is one-half the size of
the previous issue
Chart 3493 of Vancouver Harbour is scheduled to be released soon It was originally scheduled for release just
prior to the Winter Olympics but that was delayed for various reasons
At the request of DND CHS is planning to issue a new Chart 3456 (130000) which includes all of the WG
area It also proposes to cancel existing Chart 3458 (120000) most of which will be contained within new
Chart 3456 Chart 3447 (110000) for Nanaimo Harbour will be retained Concerns about the cancellation of
Chart 3458 should be relayed to Dave Jackson at CHS (phone 250-363-6354 or e-mail DaveJacksondfo-
mpogcca)
3 OTHER ISSUES
Recent concern has been expressed about the state of numerous secondary channels and small harbours in the
Fraser River delta They are silting in and creating hazards to navigation as well as limiting access to port
facilities Port Metro and a host of other agencies have agreed to look at the problem Boaters using the Fraser
River are advised that the entrance to Steveston Harbour has been recently dredged

May 2010 Report from PDC Jerry Powers SN Govrsquot amp Industry Liaison to PMD
1 CANADIAN COAST GUARD UPDATE
As part of the Second Narrows Review we can expect to see a number of changes to marine aids in the area
New sector lights are scheduled to be installed on Second Narrows Bridge expected completion of this work
was April 2010 however that is contingent on the outcome of a study of excessive vibration in the bridge
structure and its effect on the lights
Installation of structures for the new Port Moody Range henceforth to be known as the Caraholly Range is
currently scheduled for June 2010
Demolition of the old Pitt River Bridge commenced earlier this year but was suspended temporarily by
Fisheries An update on this project will be obtained later this month
It has been noted that signage in the vicinity of the old bridge is not the best boaters should exercise caution
when navigating the area
Users of VHF radio with DSC should be aware of a problem that exists where multiple radios are fitted
Receipt of an All Ships call could alarm all radios in a multiple installation thereby overriding or masking
critical communication Turning the additional radios off is not an option since that would end radio
communication For operational safety it is now necessary to disable DSC in all but one VHF DSC radio
interfaced to a GPS Industry Canada and Transport Canada are addressing the problem
It has been reported earlier that MCTS Pacific installed a CMB at Vancouver MCTS utilizing two peripheral
sites for its broadcasts Harbour Centre (VHF ch 83B) and Watts Point in upper Howe Sound (WX-1) First
broadcasts were scheduled for April 2010 the system is currently in a testing phase Boaters should be aware
that the CMB may not be receiving regular updates A NOTMAR will be issued when it is fully operable
Meteorological Services Canada (MSC) now issues wave height forecasts at 0400 and 1600 PST This change
gives marine forecasters more updated information and provides more timely information for Prince Rupert
and Tofino MCTS scheduled voice broadcasts
Kitsilano CCG base may be part of a strategic review No action is currently pending but it is rumored that the
current 24 hour staffing policy could be reduced to regular business hours CCG would have to guarantee a 30
minute response time if that were to happen
2 CHS UPDATE
The new 2010 Chart Catalogue has been published and released Users will note that it is one-half the size of
the previous issue
Chart 3493 of Vancouver Harbour is scheduled to be released soon It was originally scheduled for release just
prior to the Winter Olympics but that was delayed for various reasons
At the request of DND CHS is planning to issue a new Chart 3456 (130000) which includes all of the WG
area It also proposes to cancel existing Chart 3458 (120000) most of which will be contained within new
Chart 3456 Chart 3447 (110000) for Nanaimo Harbour will be retained Concerns about the cancellation of
Chart 3458 should be relayed to Dave Jackson at CHS (phone 250-363-6354 or e-mail DaveJacksondfo-
mpogcca)
3 OTHER ISSUES
Recent concern has been expressed about the state of numerous secondary channels and small harbours in the
Fraser River delta They are silting in and creating hazards to navigation as well as limiting access to port
facilities Port Metro and a host of other agencies have agreed to look at the problem Boaters using the Fraser
River are advised that the entrance to Steveston Harbour has been recently dredged

May 2010 Report from PDC Jerry Powers SN Govrsquot amp Industry Liaison to PMD
1 CANADIAN COAST GUARD UPDATE
As part of the Second Narrows Review we can expect to see a number of changes to marine aids in the area
New sector lights are scheduled to be installed on Second Narrows Bridge expected completion of this work
was April 2010 however that is contingent on the outcome of a study of excessive vibration in the bridge
structure and its effect on the lights
Installation of structures for the new Port Moody Range henceforth to be known as the Caraholly Range is
currently scheduled for June 2010
Demolition of the old Pitt River Bridge commenced earlier this year but was suspended temporarily by
Fisheries An update on this project will be obtained later this month
It has been noted that signage in the vicinity of the old bridge is not the best boaters should exercise caution
when navigating the area
Users of VHF radio with DSC should be aware of a problem that exists where multiple radios are fitted
Receipt of an All Ships call could alarm all radios in a multiple installation thereby overriding or masking
critical communication Turning the additional radios off is not an option since that would end radio
communication For operational safety it is now necessary to disable DSC in all but one VHF DSC radio
interfaced to a GPS Industry Canada and Transport Canada are addressing the problem
It has been reported earlier that MCTS Pacific installed a CMB at Vancouver MCTS utilizing two peripheral
sites for its broadcasts Harbour Centre (VHF ch 83B) and Watts Point in upper Howe Sound (WX-1) First
broadcasts were scheduled for April 2010 the system is currently in a testing phase Boaters should be aware
that the CMB may not be receiving regular updates A NOTMAR will be issued when it is fully operable
Meteorological Services Canada (MSC) now issues wave height forecasts at 0400 and 1600 PST This change
gives marine forecasters more updated information and provides more timely information for Prince Rupert
and Tofino MCTS scheduled voice broadcasts
Kitsilano CCG base may be part of a strategic review No action is currently pending but it is rumored that the
current 24 hour staffing policy could be reduced to regular business hours CCG would have to guarantee a 30
minute response time if that were to happen
2 CHS UPDATE
The new 2010 Chart Catalogue has been published and released Users will note that it is one-half the size of
the previous issue
Chart 3493 of Vancouver Harbour is scheduled to be released soon It was originally scheduled for release just
prior to the Winter Olympics but that was delayed for various reasons
At the request of DND CHS is planning to issue a new Chart 3456 (130000) which includes all of the WG
area It also proposes to cancel existing Chart 3458 (120000) most of which will be contained within new
Chart 3456 Chart 3447 (110000) for Nanaimo Harbour will be retained Concerns about the cancellation of
Chart 3458 should be relayed to Dave Jackson at CHS (phone 250-363-6354 or e-mail DaveJacksondfo-
mpogcca)
3 OTHER ISSUES
Recent concern has been expressed about the state of numerous secondary channels and small harbours in the
Fraser River delta They are silting in and creating hazards to navigation as well as limiting access to port
facilities Port Metro and a host of other agencies have agreed to look at the problem Boaters using the Fraser
River are advised that the entrance to Steveston Harbour has been recently dredged

May 2010 Report from PDC Jerry Powers SN Govrsquot amp Industry Liaison to PMD
1 CANADIAN COAST GUARD UPDATE
As part of the Second Narrows Review we can expect to see a number of changes to marine aids in the area
New sector lights are scheduled to be installed on Second Narrows Bridge expected completion of this work
was April 2010 however that is contingent on the outcome of a study of excessive vibration in the bridge
structure and its effect on the lights
Installation of structures for the new Port Moody Range henceforth to be known as the Caraholly Range is
currently scheduled for June 2010
Demolition of the old Pitt River Bridge commenced earlier this year but was suspended temporarily by
Fisheries An update on this project will be obtained later this month
It has been noted that signage in the vicinity of the old bridge is not the best boaters should exercise caution
when navigating the area
Users of VHF radio with DSC should be aware of a problem that exists where multiple radios are fitted
Receipt of an All Ships call could alarm all radios in a multiple installation thereby overriding or masking
critical communication Turning the additional radios off is not an option since that would end radio
communication For operational safety it is now necessary to disable DSC in all but one VHF DSC radio
interfaced to a GPS Industry Canada and Transport Canada are addressing the problem
It has been reported earlier that MCTS Pacific installed a CMB at Vancouver MCTS utilizing two peripheral
sites for its broadcasts Harbour Centre (VHF ch 83B) and Watts Point in upper Howe Sound (WX-1) First
broadcasts were scheduled for April 2010 the system is currently in a testing phase Boaters should be aware
that the CMB may not be receiving regular updates A NOTMAR will be issued when it is fully operable
Meteorological Services Canada (MSC) now issues wave height forecasts at 0400 and 1600 PST This change
gives marine forecasters more updated information and provides more timely information for Prince Rupert

May 2010 Report from PDC Jerry Powers SN Govrsquot amp Industry Liaison to PMD
1 CANADIAN COAST GUARD UPDATE
As part of the Second Narrows Review we can expect to see a number of changes to marine aids in the area
New sector lights are scheduled to be installed on Second Narrows Bridge expected completion of this work
was April 2010 however that is contingent on the outcome of a study of excessive vibration in the bridge
structure and its effect on the lights
Installation of structures for the new Port Moody Range henceforth to be known as the Caraholly Range is
currently scheduled for June 2010
Demolition of the old Pitt River Bridge commenced earlier this year but was suspended temporarily by
Fisheries An update on this project will be obtained later this month
It has been noted that signage in the vicinity of the old bridge is not the best boaters should exercise caution
when navigating the area
Users of VHF radio with DSC should be aware of a problem that exists where multiple radios are fitted
Receipt of an All Ships call could alarm all radios in a multiple installation thereby overriding or masking
critical communication Turning the additional radios off is not an option since that would end radio
communication For operational safety it is now necessary to disable DSC in all but one VHF DSC radio
interfaced to a GPS Industry Canada and Transport Canada are addressing the problem
It has been reported earlier that MCTS Pacific installed a CMB at Vancouver MCTS utilizing two peripheral
sites for its broadcasts Harbour Centre (VHF ch 83B) and Watts Point in upper Howe Sound (WX-1) First
broadcasts were scheduled for April 2010 the system is currently in a testing phase Boaters should be aware
that the CMB may not be receiving regular updates A NOTMAR will be issued when it is fully operable
Meteorological Services Canada (MSC) now issues wave height forecasts at 0400 and 1600 PST This change
gives marine forecasters more updated information and provides more timely information for Prince Rupert
and Tofino MCTS scheduled voice broadcasts
Kitsilano CCG base may be part of a strategic review No action is currently pending but it is rumored that the
current 24 hour staffing policy could be reduced to regular business hours CCG would have to guarantee a 30
minute response time if that were to happen

interfaced to a GPS Industry Canada and Transport Canada are addressing the problem
It has been reported earlier that MCTS Pacific installed a CMB at Vancouver MCTS utilizing two peripheral
sites for its broadcasts Harbour Centre (VHF ch 83B) and Watts Point in upper Howe Sound (WX-1) First
broadcasts were scheduled for April 2010 the system is currently in a testing phase Boaters should be aware
that the CMB may not be receiving regular updates A NOTMAR will be issued when it is fully operable
Meteorological Services Canada (MSC) now issues wave height forecasts at 0400 and 1600 PST This change
gives marine forecasters more updated information and provides more timely information for Prince Rupert
and Tofino MCTS scheduled voice broadcasts
Kitsilano CCG base may be part of a strategic review No action is currently pending but it is rumored that the
current 24 hour staffing policy could be reduced to regular business hours CCG would have to guarantee a 30
minute response time if that were to happen
2 CHS UPDATE
The new 2010 Chart Catalogue has been published and released Users will note that it is one-half the size of
the previous issue
Chart 3493 of Vancouver Harbour is scheduled to be released soon It was originally scheduled for release just
prior to the Winter Olympics but that was delayed for various reasons
At the request of DND CHS is planning to issue a new Chart 3456 (130000) which includes all of the WG
area It also proposes to cancel existing Chart 3458 (120000) most of which will be contained within new
Chart 3456 Chart 3447 (110000) for Nanaimo Harbour will be retained Concerns about the cancellation of
Chart 3458 should be relayed to Dave Jackson at CHS (phone 250-363-6354 or e-mail DaveJacksondfo-
mpogcca)
3 OTHER ISSUES
Recent concern has been expressed about the state of numerous secondary channels and small harbours in the
Fraser River delta They are silting in and creating hazards to navigation as well as limiting access to port
facilities Port Metro and a host of other agencies have agreed to look at the problem Boaters using the Fraser
River are advised that the entrance to Steveston Harbour has been recently dredged
