Not often you see a Coast Guard ship in Burrard Inlet since Stephen Harper decided that the busiest harbour in Canada was less deserving of a Coast Guard outpost than Selkirk, Manitoba, located some hundreds of miles from the ocean.
We’ve so far been incredibly fortunate in that there’s been only one notable incident resulting in a death in Vancouver’s waters that likely could have been prevented if the Coast Guard Station was still open in Kits.
