The Alexander Henry was formerly a Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker, and is currently an exhibit at the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes in Kingston, Ontario.
Heavy Icebreaker CCGS Terry Fox CCGS Terry Fox The Terry Fox was built in 1983 at the Victoria Yard of the Burrard Yarrrows Corporation located in British Columbia, Canada.
The CCGS Samuel Risley is a Canadian Coast Guard vessel; a light icebreaker buoy tender and aid to navigation.

CCG's role and functions have evolved continuously since the colonial period and through Confederation, falling under various departments, including the Department of Marine and Fisheries in 1867 and Transport Canada from the 1930s until the merger with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) in 1995.
The CCGS Tanu was on scheduled SAR patrol in the area when it departed from Masset on the morning of September 6 and travelled for four hours to a remote area at the northwest corner of the islands that is otherwise only accessible by helicopter.
She said that she had been interested in CCG for a long time and was looking forward to her voyage on CCGSHenryLarsen through the waters of northern Newfoundland and Labrador to visit five communities on the coast of Labrador (see "Governor General Enjoys Fish and Fellowship in The Big Land," page 10).
Each season, the CCG does not consider the strait to be buoyed until a Notice to Shipping is issued, specifically stating that the buoys for the area have been deployed.
The CCGS "NAHIDIK" was in the area and was tasked to assist the stranded vessel.
On 05 September 1996, the CCGS "LOUIS ST.LAURENT" was tasked to replace the "HENRYLARSEN" but her draught was also too great for her to reach the scene.
Von Tiesenhausen's first works were traditional landscape paintings, but as he witnessed the landscape around him changing, the natural elements in his paintings began to retreat — driven back by the advance of pipelines and clear-cut logging within his beloved Peace River Country.

In 1991 von Tiesenhausen began a series of large installations, or what he calls land works.
Acoustic Thermometry and Autonomous Monitoring (ATAM)(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
Indeed, it was the measurement of a 2 sec faster travel time of mode 2 from the TAP experiment when compared to a modeled result using historical climatology that calculated to an average increase in temperature of the Atlantic Intermediate Layer along the TAP propagation path of 0.4
Subsequent direct measurements from Arctic sections taken by the icebreaker CCGS Louis S. St-Laurent and the transect taken by the USS Cavalla (SSN-684) confirmed this result [Mikhalevsky, Keenan and Baggeroer 1996].
The largest temperature change, up to 1ºC, was observed in the core of the Atlantic water, over the Lomonosov Ridge, which may be due to change in the water inflow from the North Atlantic.
TAP was the first basin-scale observation of warming of the Atlantic Layer of the Arctic Ocean [Mikhalevsky et al., 1995a, 1995b, 1996, and 1999] (Fig.
Whether these results are a manifestation of a secular global climate change trend with an anthropogenic fingerprint [Overpeck, et al., 1997], or a "natural" oscillation [Grotefendt, et al., 1998, Johnson, et al., 1999] is an area of active research.
An effective oceanographic survey section scheme of ocean dynamics investigations had never been done in the Central Arctic before 1987 because the Arctic Basin is one of a few areas in the world's oceans which are virtually inaccessible for ordinary ocean-going research vessels.
A coast guard icebreaker, the HenryLarsen, participated in Operation Narwhal.
Funding for the instruments and other aspects of the study comes from agencies including the Panel for Energy Research and Development and the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans’ Climate Fund.
According to DFO, the operation began when NAFO inspectors from the CCGS Leonard J. Cowley boarded one of the trawlers.
