List of Canadian Coast Guard MCTS Centres

These are the Marine Communications and Traffic Services centres operated by the Canadian Coast Guard. They provide vessel traffic and marine weather information. "The Canadian Coast Guard announced in May of 2012 that they would be reducing the number of MCTS Centres across Canada from the present 22 to 12 centres in an effort to reduce the Coast Guard operating budget. The stations that are closing are listed using italics below."[1]
