He began his career in the Eastern Townships Zone in the CSP Quebec Division and was recognized at all levels of the organization including being awarded National Life Member No. 39 in 1998. When he and his wife relocated to the Greater Toronto Area, Charlie was still the national president and found himself introduced to Kawartha Zone by his friend on the board of directors, Stu Jarvis (LM No. 51) and it was here he made his new home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"_Int_Y5iBOPrk\"><\/a> <span lang=\"en-GB\">Over the years since joining us, Charlie has provided leadership and support across all of the zone\u2019s functions, especially in the areas of AFA training (he is an IT and oversees instructor development in the zone) and technology implementation, including as the zone\u2019s webmaster. He is also active in mentoring younger patrollers up through the ranks to take on leadership roles. In recognition of his contributions to the zone, Charlie has now received every available Kawartha Zone award, including Kawartha Zone Life Membership No. 10.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-GB\">In addition to the usual national bits and bobs, the zone was pleased to present Charlie with his newest zone special award recognition jacket to add to his collection, and a hand-stitched presentation piece designed and executed by a fellow patroller which has now taken up residence on the wall at his house. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-GB\">We are looking forward to celebrating Charlie\u2019s next milestone with the CSP and he\u2019s been told that retirement is not an option!<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15825\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15825\" style=\"width: 289px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-15825\" src=\"https:\/\/cspnational.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/12\/11233248\/img.12-2023.celebrating-50-years-service.picture-2.crawford-289x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"289\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cspnational.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/12\/11233248\/img.12-2023.celebrating-50-years-service.picture-2.crawford-289x300.jpg 289w, https:\/\/cspnational.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/12\/11233248\/img.12-2023.celebrating-50-years-service.picture-2.crawford-986x1024.jpg 986w, https:\/\/cspnational.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/12\/11233248\/img.12-2023.celebrating-50-years-service.picture-2.crawford-768x798.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cspnational.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/12\/11233248\/img.12-2023.celebrating-50-years-service.picture-2.crawford-1479x1536.jpg 1479w, https:\/\/cspnational.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/12\/11233248\/img.12-2023.celebrating-50-years-service.picture-2.crawford-560x582.jpg 560w, https:\/\/cspnational.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/12\/11233248\/img.12-2023.celebrating-50-years-service.picture-2.crawford.jpg 1683w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 289px) 100vw, 289px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15825\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Receiving his zone special award recognition jacket<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15827\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15827\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-15827\" src=\"https:\/\/cspnational.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/12\/11233250\/img.12-2023.celebrating-50-years-service.picture-1.crawford-300x264.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cspnational.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/12\/11233250\/img.12-2023.celebrating-50-years-service.picture-1.crawford-300x264.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cspnational.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/12\/11233250\/img.12-2023.celebrating-50-years-service.picture-1.crawford-1024x902.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cspnational.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/12\/11233250\/img.12-2023.celebrating-50-years-service.picture-1.crawford-768x676.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cspnational.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/12\/11233250\/img.12-2023.celebrating-50-years-service.picture-1.crawford-1536x1352.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cspnational.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/12\/11233250\/img.12-2023.celebrating-50-years-service.picture-1.crawford-560x493.jpg 560w, https:\/\/cspnational.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/12\/11233250\/img.12-2023.celebrating-50-years-service.picture-1.crawford.jpg 1665w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15827\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Being presented with his presentation piece<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span lang=\"en-GB\">(l-r in both photos) Charlie Turner and Kawartha Zone President Steve Reeves<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-GB\">(photos by A.P.
