Terry Beech, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard, announced the official opening of the new Canadian Coast Guard search and rescue station in Victoria, B.C. The station is situated on Dallas Road alongside the Coast Guard’s Victoria base with easy access to the harbour. The new building offers office and meeting space, as well as living quarters for the station crew. As with other Coast Guard search and rescue stations along the coast of British Columbia, the Victoria station is staffed 24-hours-a-day. The building is the 14th full-time station in Victoria’s coast guard region. (Photo credit: Kiernan Green/Victoria News)
