CPS-ECP Responds to a Crisis

AB Donations

May 11, 2016

CPS-ECP Members are part of a charitable family committed to making a difference in our community by helping others. Our friends and neighbours in Alberta need our help. The disaster in Fort McMurray is almost beyond our ability to grasp. There is a way for each of us to make a difference. If every CPS-ECP member sends $20 to the Canadian Red Cross – Alberta Fires Appeal, that will raise more than $400,000 to assist those who have lost so much. There are programs from Alberta and Canada to match your individual Red Cross donations.

Give now!

Pursuit S268 Sport CC

By Andy Adams

The Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console is a do-it-all kind of boat with a solid sense of style. Centre console designs have been developed for the southern blue water sport fishing enthusiasts (and this boat would raise fish with the best of them) but the Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console offers far more utility and enjoyment than just fishing.

Ron and Pat Reder started out in October 1984 across the road from where they are right now on the Bayfield River in Bayfield ON. The store front was about 10 x 20 and the rest of that side of the building was a stock room, wood finishing room, then behind that was more back stock and the lunchroom. Expanding every few years for the store front, then moving over to this new building five years ago, this year with Adam, Shelley, and Holly are carrying on the business.
