CCGS Cape McKay is a SAR Lifeboat, seen here leaving the quay in Port Alberni after transferring a medical patient to an awaiting ambulance. I hope all is well. Thanks guys for doing what you do best. She had a Rigid Hulled Inflatable Boats (RHIBS) in tow on her starboard side.
CCGS Amundsen is a T1200 Class Medium Arctic icebreaker and Arctic research vessel operated by the Canadian Coast Guard.
It is named after the famed Norwegian explorer, Roald Amundsen; having been the first to transverse the Northwest Passage, way up there in the cold, cold Artctic.
Of note also: the CCGS Amundsen is pictured on the back of Canada's new $50 bill. As with other recently issued banknotes, this one is also made of that polymer stuff and puts to rest the saying, "...hardly worth the paper its printed on."
Oh ya...there's a bird in the photo also.

Used panorama feature to get all of “Moytel” in the shot. Taken at the Coast Guard Base in Victoria. The Canadian Coast Guard describes “Moytel” as a "versatile amphibious vehicle capable of patrolling inland waters, [and featuring] a bow ramp that will enable it to transport supplies such as rescue equipment and vehicles."

At Canadian Coast Guard Station Victoria on a beautiful January morning. "Naaluk Nappaaluk" is the Coast Guard's new offshore oceanographic and hydrographic survey vessel. The ship was named in honour of respected Inuk Elder Naalak Nappaaluk (now passed), from Kangiqsujuaq, Nunavik, who was committed to protecting and promoting the Inuit language and culture.

Today, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, the Canadian Coast Guard celebrated the launch of the Canadian Coast Guard Ship (CCGS) Donjek, the first of two Arctic and Offshore Patrol Ships being built for the Canadian Coast Guard at Irving Shipbuilding Inc., as part of the National Shipbuilding Strategy.
Built to expand the Canadian Coast Guard’s patrol and icebreaking capacity, the CCGS Donjek will support a wide range of missions, including offshore fisheries patrols, conservation and protection, and search and rescue operations along Canada’s east coast. The vessel will also support operations across the Canadian Arctic.
Upbound at Walpole Island, the Arctic class 3 icebreaker CCGS Des Groseilliers (IMO 8006385, Ottawa Ontario) works the lower St. Clair River.
CCGS Des Groseilliers is a Pierre Radisson-class icebreaker in the Canadian Coast Guard. The vessel is named after Médard Chouart des Groseilliers a close associate of Pierre-Esprit Radisson in explorations west of the Great Lakes and the founding of the British Hudson's Bay Company. The ship entered service in 1982.

This is the Coast Guard Icebreaker that was in service from Trois Rivieres to Montreal from 1940-1978. It rests on display at the Musee Maritime du Quebec in L'Islet, Quebec.

A Coast Guard Nearshore Fishery Research Vessel. After making a slow pass on the northwest side of Ahgykson Island (formerly Harwood Island) she berthed in the local harbour overnight. Here she was making a pass in front of Powell River early in the morning at 2.5 knots, with Ahgykson in the background behind her. She was trailing 2 lines, though hard to tell what she was actually pulling in the depths. While the Neocaligus is a research vessel, all the crew will have had SAR training.
Looking good in fresh paint, the CCGS Griffon sails down the Detroit River for Coast Guard Station Amherstburg.
The CCGS VINCENT MASSEY, making her visit to the upper Great Lakes, is bound for Georgian bay to assist CSL's THUNDER BAY into Midland Harbour. She will then proceed to Thunder Bay for ice-ops.

The last shipboard and indeed flight of a west coast Canadian Coast Guard MBB 105 helicopter-CCG 359. CCG 359 has just returned on the Canadian Coast Guard Ship Sir Wilfred Laurier after the summer navigation season in the Western Arctic and is taking flight for the last time to Discovery Island and then back to the CCG base where she landed for the final time.
The 1980's MBB 105s have been replaced by the modern Bell 429.

CCGS Siyay is a Canadian Coast Guard Type 400 BHC AP1-88/400 hovercraft based in Richmond, British Columbia. The vessel was ordered in 1996 and launched and entered service in 1998. The hovercraft is predominantly used for servicing navigational aids and search and rescue duties.
Siyay is a Type 400 BHC AP1-88/400 hovercraft, the second of two vessels constructed for the Canadian Coast Guard. Siyay, which was constructed out of aluminium, has a standard displacement of 36 tonnes (35 long tons) standard and 70 t (69 long tons) at full load and measures 70 net tonnage (NT). The hovercraft is 28.5 metres (93 ft 6 in) long with a beam of 12 m (39 ft 4 in). The vessel has a main deck cargo capacity of 110 m2 (1,200 sq ft) and a well deck measuring 8.2 m × 6.4 m (26 ft 11 in × 21 ft 0 in), serviced by a Palfinger - PK3000M 5,000-kilogram (5.0 t) crane.
The hovercraft is powered by four Caterpillar 3416 TTA diesel engines turning two controllable-pitch propellers creating 2,818 kilowatts (3,779 hp). Siyay has a maximum speed of 50 knots (93 km/h; 58 mph) and a cruising speed of 45 knots (83 km/h; 52 mph). The vessel has a range of 300 nautical miles (560 km; 350 mi) with the endurance of one day. The vessel has a complement of 7 with two officers and a five person dive team.
Construction and career
The contract to build Siyay and sister ship Sipu Muin was awarded in May 1996 to GKN Westland. The two hovercraft were built by Hike Metals & Shipbuilding Limited at their yard in Wheatley, Ontario. Siyay was launched in 1998 and completed in December of that year.
The Arrow Post was built for the Coast Guard in 1991 and commissioned the following year. She was stationed in Prince Rupert, and used mainly for fisheries patrol. In 2016 she was transferred to Parks Canada - they refitted her as a research vessel and renamed her the RV David Thompson, after the great explorer.
