Description
For the past 50 years, The Canadian Coast Guard has been a symbol of service and safety. The women and men Canada calls their own have not only provided years of excellence in service delivery, but have embodied the ideals the Coast Guard has come to represent. On January 26, 2012 the Canadian Coast Guard proudly celebrated its 50th Anniversary. As they celebrated their past, they must also consider their future. Greater demands for services, a changing climate in the Arctic, advances in technology and expectations for a greater presence in the North have set the tone for what they must strive to become.
The Canadian Coast Guard owns and operates the federal government�s civilian fleet, and provides key maritime services to Canadians. As a Special Operating Agency of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), the Canadian Coast Guard helps DFO meet its responsibility to ensure safe and accessible waterways for Canadians. The Canadian Coast Guard also plays a key role in ensuring the sustainable use and development of Canada�s oceans and waterways. The organization may have witnessed many changes to its structure, fleet, and people over the years, but the passion and heart to serve the citizens of Canada have been the same for the last five decades.
