Moncton, NB - The Canadian Coast Guard's seasonal search and rescue stations across New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island are now open for the season:
- Shippagan, NB
- Summerside, PEI
- Souris, PEI
Waterways remain very cold at this time of year and take much longer to warm up when compared to the air, so boaters should ensure they take necessary precautions when near or on waterways. Transport Canada's Safe Boating Guide is an excellent source of information in preparation for the recreational boating season.
Emergencies on the water can be reported 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, toll-free (within Canada) at 1-800-565-1582. If toll-free service is unavailable (within Canada and the Unites States), please dial 1-902-427-8200.
