It is with much emotion that we remember our friend and fellow Foundation family member, Ghislain Arsenault, who passed on June 25, 2022.
Ghislain became a CPS-ECP member in 1979 and immediately became involved as a volunteer.
It was with heart and passion that Ghislain participated in the success of CPS-ECP at all levels, accumulating 43 Merit Marks over the years. As a career teacher he was active in teaching various courses, but in addition he served as a Squadron and District Commander, translator of courses, Chair of French Editorial Review and Curriculum Committees, Senior Aide to Chief Commanders, CPS-ECP General Director and Assistant National Training Officer.
Ghislain also served with the Canadian Power Squadrons Foundation for 17 years, 15 of which in the capacity of Director. In addition to his welcome sage advice and counsel, he provided operational up-dates on the organization and handled all communication translations.
Family was of great importance to Ghislain. We offer our most sincere condolences to his wife Jeannine, their children Élaine, Michèle and François, other members of his family, and all his friends.
Ghislain was a gentleman’s gentleman who was always ready to step in to help and always with a positive approach. We are sad with his loss but in gratitude that we had the honour and benefit of his presence over so many years.
Thank you, Ghislain, for showing us the way. Your memory will remain with us forever.
