Canadian Coast Guard Station Set To Open For The Season
The Canadian Coast Guard’s seasonal lifeboat station in Amherstburg opens for the season on March 22nd.
The Coast Guard reminds boaters that 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 Ontario’s waterways.
Emergencies on the water can be reported 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, toll-free (within Canada) at 1-800-267-7270. If toll-free service is unavailable (within Canada and the United States), you can call 613-965-3870.
