Seasonal Closure of Canadian Coast Guard Rescue Stations in Ontario
Kingston, Ontario – The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) will soon be closing several of its search and rescue stations in Ontario for the winter season. The closures will begin on November 26, 2024, and will affect stations in Kingston, Cobourg, Trenton, and Port Burwell.
The CCG says the closures are necessary due to the decreased number of boaters and other recreational activities on the water during the winter months. The stations will reopen in the spring, when boating activity resumes.
The CCG says it will continue to provide search and rescue services during the winter months, but it will do so from other locations. The CCG says it will also be working with other agencies, such as the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), to ensure that there is adequate coverage for search and rescue operations.
The CCG is urging boaters to take extra precautions during the winter months, as the water can be very cold and dangerous. The CCG says boaters should always wear a life jacket, carry a whistle or other signaling device, and file a float plan with someone on shore.
The following is a list of the CCG search and rescue stations in Ontario that will be closed for the winter season:
- Kingston
- Cobourg
- Trenton
- Port Burwell
The CCG says it will continue to monitor the situation and make adjustments to its search and rescue plans as needed.
