Canadian Coast Guard 50th Anniversary
"It is with great pride that I congratulate the Canadian Coast Guard on its 50th anniversary and I invite all Canadians to join me in celebrating this milestone. Whether it is to support Canada's vital commercial fishing industry, maritime transportation, shipping, or the country's millions of recreational boaters, our brave men and women are always there and ready to serve. After 50 years of dedicated service, the Canadian Coast Guard is truly a symbol of sovereignty, safety and security."
"I encourage everyone to learn more about the Canadian Coast Guard and join the celebrations near you."
Hon. Keith Ashfield
Minister of Fisheries and Oceans
