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:

  1. A Canadian Coast Guard was Needed for Search & Rescue
  2. Just who Was Responsible for Sea Rescues?
  3. 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.
