While the Harper government shut down the Kitsilano Coast Guard station on Tuesday, today in Newfoundland it has announced it’s spending 6.6 million dollars on a few building for the life boat station in Burin.
That station has been operating since 1973 and it’s building is dilapidated.
As well, St. John’s Newfoundland will be the new headquarters for the new Atlantic region of the coast guard, which combines the old Maritime and Newfoundland regions
