Canadian Coast Guard releases seasonal inshore rescue boat locations

Nathan Maley
By Nathan Maley

Inshore rescue boat stations in British Columbia are now open for the summer season. 

The Canadian Coast Guard announced four locations opened May 18 and will stay open until September 1. 

The four stations will operate out of: 

  • Coast Guard 509 Cortes Bay, Cortes Island 
  • Coast Guard 508 Sointula, Malcolm Island 
  • Coast Guard 507 Nootka Sound 
  • Coast Guard 504 Kelsey Bay 

The stations in B.C. are crewed by Coast Guard Rescue Specialists as coxswain and post-secondary students hired and trained through the Coast Guard’s Search and Rescue program. 

The stations provide additional rescue services during the busy summer recreational boating season. 

People are also reminded waterways remain very cold at this time of year and take longer to warm up compared to air.
