List of Canadian Coast Guard Bases and Stations

Map showing former operating regions of the Canadian Coast Guard. Today Maritimes and Newfoundland regions are merged into the new Atlantic Region. Quebec Region has merged with the Central and Arctic Region which now also includes Nunavut. The Pacific Region has merged into the new Western Region that also includes Manitoba (except the Hudson Bay shoreline), Saskatchewan, Alberta and the Northwest Territories which were formerly all part of the Central and Arctic Region

The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) maintains a number of major bases and operating stations on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, as well as in the St. Lawrence River, Great Lakes and major navigable inland waterways such as Lake of the Woods, Lake Winnipeg, and Great Slave Lake/Mackenzie River.

Currently, there are no vessels permanently based in the eastern Arctic, although CCG vessels and aircraft frequently operate there, staging out of bases on the Atlantic coast and supported by a base in Iqaluit, Nunavut.
