Canadian Coast Guard

The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) is a federal agency responsible for ensuring the safety and security of Canada's waterways. It provides navigational aids, conducts search and rescue missions, and performs icebreaking services to keep shipping routes open, especially in winter. The CCG also protects marine environments and offers support during maritime emergencies. With a fleet of ships and aircraft, it plays a vital role in supporting maritime industries, fishing, and trade, while promoting safety and environmental stewardship in Canada's vast aquatic regions.
