The Power of Community
One of our major strengths is being willing and able to reach out and build communities to face challenges. Many maritime security issues facing Canada need more than just a reasonable opinion.

Maritime Security in Context
Supply Chains
The maritime industry is a vital link in ensuring that Canadian exports and imports arrive at their intended location on time, in acceptable condition, and for a reasonable cost.
Environmental Sustainability
Canada’s coastal communities and waters play a vital role in the economic, cultural, and historical foundations of communities. As a nation that came into being through waterways, preserving those waters for future generations is a key aspect to preserving not just a capability but also part of Canada’s national identity.
