UPDATE Correction - Coast Guard Joint Rescue Coordination Centre Phone Number
Whoops! On the front page of the print issue of Summer UPDATE we listed an incorrect number for the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre at CCG Trenton. This has been corrected in our online copy (here), but if you’ve already plugged the Coast Guard into your phone, please make sure you are using this number:
1–800–267-7270
If you haven’t yet, it might be a good idea to add this Coast Guard number to your contacts so that it is handy in the event of an emergency. The OPP non-emergency number, 1-888-310-1122, is also good to have and will connect you to an operator 24/7.
