Change is in the air as we bid farewell to Acting Executive Director, Pierre Jean. After 37 years of service, Pierre is retiring from his career at the same place where it all began. From your #CCGCollege family, thank you. Fair winds and following seas. 🌊
We will be purchasing ice skimmers from GRIFFIN Engineered Systems Inc. to improve our capacity to respond to oil spills on ice covered waters. These skimmers have been made to collect oil that can get as thick as peanut butter! https://t.co/6ptUhkZ9Hr
#OceansProtectionPlan
The team: Federal, Provincial, Indigenous and industry responders. The goal: Mitigate pollution damages. The challenges: remoteness, covid, seemingly endless upwelling of heavy oil, pristine environment... Can’t say enough good things about how amazing a job this IMT is doing.
#CCGLive: Update from #BlighIslandShipwreck. The Incident Command Post and our on-water crews are preparing for the technical assessment of the sunken ship.
A boating safety reminder: With spring in the air, now is a great time to inspect your vessel and perform preventive maintenance. Check fuel, mechanical and electrical systems prior to heading out on the water. #SafetyFirst!
News from #BritishColumbia: When our Engineering & Informatics and Maritime & Civil Infrastructure crews flew out to fix the VHF(Very High Frequency) service on Maitland Island in the central coast they were met with 6m of snow covering the remote site’s equipment. It's snow joke
