Canadian Coast Guard to cease light keeper functions at Carmanah Point and Pachena Point light stations due to safety concerns by Canadian Coast Guard on Wednesday 31 July 2024 05:00 PM UTC+00 | Tags: news-releases The Canadian Coast Guard is responsible for many light stations across Canada that help to keep Canadian waterways safe. At the same time, the safety of personnel is the highest priority. Therefore, the Canadian Coast Guard has made the difficult decision to cease light keeper functions at both the Carmanah Point and Pachena Point light stations in British Columbia due to recently identified safety risks. Aids to Navigation at both sites will continue to operate and support the safety of mariners and other users travelling on the waters off the southwest coast of Vancouver Island. Tags:
