People in our Club:
This is What Our Club is About.
In 1941, Dr Douglas Firth, a young Toronto doctor and skier, was asked by the Canadian Ski Association to organize and train a first aid rescue group to patrol ski hills.
In 1961, the CSPS was accredited as a National Charity. By 1962, we were incorporated as a national non-profit corporation and had raised our registration to approximately 1,000 members. In 1965, with over 1,500 members, it was time to open a small office and hire a secretary to handle the mounting requirements of communication. Today, the CSPS has approximately 7,000 members and owns the building housing our national office.

The Canadian Ski Patrol System (CSPS) is a registered non-profit corporation comprising highly-trained volunteer and professional members that provides safety and first aid services to the skiing public. The CSPS is national in scope and was formed to promote safe skiing and to provide assistance to injured skiers. The CSPS's membership of more than 6000 patrollers provides a Canada-wide, highly-skilled and responsible service to the skiing industry. The funds required each year for the training of patrollers and the operation of the system are obtained by soliciting assistance from the industry, governments, the public, ski areas, fund raising programs, and the membership fees itself.
