List of Canadian Coast Guard bases and stations

The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) maintains a number of major bases and operating stations on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, as well as in the St. Lawrence River, Great Lakes and major navigable inland waterways such as Lake of the Woods, Lake Winnipeg, and Great Slave Lake/Mackenzie River.

Currently, there are no vessels permanently based in the eastern Arctic, although CCG vessels and aircraft frequently operate there, staging out of bases on the Atlantic coast and supported by a base in Iqaluit, Nunavut.

Organization

In October 2018, it was announced that the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard would be reorganized into four operational regions with the creation of a new Arctic Region; this transition to four regions was completed in April 2021.[1]

Canadian Coast Guard regions are defined[2] as:

  • The Arctic Region consists of the Yukon North slope, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Nunavik, Nunatsiavut, and Hudson and James Bay. This boundary is inclusive of Inuit Nunangat.
  • The Western Region consists of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Yukon, minus the Yukon slope.
  • The Central Region consists of Ontario and Quebec, minus the Nunavik region in northern Quebec.
  • The Atlantic Region consists of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador, minus the Nunatsiavut region in Labrador.
