Important Metric Note

The Canadian Hydrographic
Service is proposing that as of January 1, 2007 all predicted
tidal heights, secondary port corrections and tabulated levels
appearing in the Canadian Tide and Current Tables will be given
to the nearest decimetre (1/10th of a metre). A conversion table
from Metric to Imperial units will be provided near the back of
the publication. Please send any comments or concerns regarding
this proposed change to:
