CCG listing

I have served in the Canadian Coast Guard for over 35 years and proudly promote and represent the CCG.

There are many, many people in Canada who do not even know of the existence of the CCG, and many others who do not know what the CCG does.

This is my small attempt to promote an organization that I believe deserves much better publicity.

Approaching CG base in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia

In 1989 a 52 ft fibreglass lifeboat of the British Arun type was purchased from an English source.

Ten others were built in Canada of Aluminum, some taking station names and others reviving the Type 400 "S" names.

CCGC Sambro took the station name, and is based in Sambro, NS.
