Oakville Squadron

Oakville Squadron was established originally in 1955. The Squadron "Bridge" or executive group organizes the courses and events and publishes the "Mainsheet" Newsletter. All training and the operation of the Oakville Squadron is carried out by volunteers.

The Oakville Squadron is a unit of York West District of Canadian Power & Sail Squadrons (CPS) . CPS is, in turn, affiliated with United States Power Squadrons (USPS) . We are dedicated to providing training for boaters in the Oakville/Bronte region of Ontario to enhance the enjoyment and safety of their chosen pastime.

Oakville Squadron holds monthly "Bridge" meetings at TOWARF on the waterfront in Oakville Harbour . Members are welcome to participate in setting the course of the squadron by attending meetings of the Bridge on the second Wednesday of each month at 7:30 PM.
