At its 2024 convention, the Canadian Association of Labour Media recognized UCTE with its Ed Finn Award for Best Writing for “SOS Canadian Coast Guard Search & Rescue.”
The article, a history of the origins of the Canadian Coast Guard by Ken Clavette, was posted in three parts on this site:
- A Canadian Coast Guard was Needed for Search & Rescue
- Just who Was Responsible for Sea Rescues?
- Lack of Coast Guard Blamed for Tragedy in Fishing Boat Sinking
Congratulations to Ken and to the UCTE members who made the history in the first place.
