Annual reopening of Canadian Coast Guard search and rescue lifeboat stations across Ontario
News release
Sarnia, Ontario - The Canadian Coast Guard’s seasonally operated lifeboat stations on the Great Lakes, Georgian Bay and St. Lawrence River will reopen on the following dates:
- April 6, 2018: Kingston, Cobourg, Port Weller, Port Dover, Amherstburg
- April 13, 2018: Tobermory, Goderich, Meaford
- April 20, 2018: Thunder Bay
Waterways remain very cold at this time of year and take much longer to warm up compared to the air. Transport Canada’s Safe Boating Guide is an excellent source of information in preparation for the recreational boating season. The Safe Boating Guide can be found here.
Emergencies on the water can be reported 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, toll-free (within Canada) at 1-800-267-7270, or via marine VHF radio - channel 16.
