Search and Rescue stations across Newfoundland and Labrador are open for 2025 operational season

April 24, 2025

St. John’s, NL - The Canadian Coast Guard’s seasonal search and rescue stations across Newfoundland and Labrador are now  open for the 2025 season:

• Old Perlican
• Twillingate
• Port au Choix
• St. Anthony
• Corner Brook (Temporary location for the 2025-2026 season)*

*Please note that while wharf infrastructure upgrades are ongoing at Lark Harbour, our crew will be operating out of Corner Brook at the Bay of Islands Yacht Club. 

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 1-800-563-2444. If toll-free service is unavailable (within Canada and the Unites States), please dial 1-709-772-5151.
