The PM is in town today making an announcement related to the Coast Guard.... but it looks like it isn鈥檛 to do with the waters here in BC. We are expecting to hear the feds are buying two new Arctic patrol vessels. @CTVVancouverpic.twitter.com/IxNzWwhr1F
加拿大海岸警卫队 Canadian Coast Guard(CCG)主要承担加拿大的近海保护工作。其前身只是加拿大联邦政府的一个部门。1867年,联邦政府赋予当时海事与渔业部海事服务局的任务是承担导航(那时候主要是灯塔),维护海事安全和执行搜救任务。同时跟铁路与运河部运河局一起负责水道的维护。
后来海事与渔业部被拆分后,新成立的海事部继续承担联邦政府的近海保护工作。
News from #BritishColumbia: Don鈥檛 be alarmed! On May 22 and 23, we will be conducting an on-water pollution response drill with the @USCGPacificNW and other response partners in the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Air and water assets will be deployed. #JustADrillpic.twitter.com/NfvrV6h5yz
