In what year was the CSPS formed?

The Canadian Ski Patrol System (CSPS) was formed in 1941. This year is significant as it marks the establishment of a structured organization aimed at providing safety and assistance on ski slopes across Canada. The formation of the CSPS during this time was a response to the growing popularity of skiing and the need for trained individuals to manage emergencies and ensure the safety of skiers. This initiative laid the groundwork for what would become an essential part of ski resort operations, emphasizing the importance of ski patrols in promoting safety in winter sports. The organization has since evolved and expanded its training and services, adapting to the needs of modern skiing while maintaining its foundational mission of safety and care.
