The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) station Québec is responsible for maintaining safe and efficient maritime navigation in the region, which includes the St. Lawrence River, the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and other waterways in Québec. The Coast Guard provides services such as search and rescue, icebreaking, environmental response, aids to navigation, and vessel traffic management. The Québec region is vital for Canada's commercial shipping routes, and the Coast Guard ensures safe and sustainable maritime operations, supporting both economic activity and environmental protection.

The CCG works closely with other governmental agencies, local communities, and international partners to address challenges like ice conditions, shipping safety, and environmental risks in the region's waters. Around 70% of the arctic operation from icebreaker are flown with helicopters and crew out of the Québec base.

Auks, a remarkable group of seabirds, possess unique adaptations that enable them to thrive in challenging environments. Unlike many other bird species, they are not particularly adept at flying. Instead, their bodies and wings are specialized for efficient diving and swimming in cold ocean waters. This specialization makes flying limited and energy-intensive for them. However, these adaptations represent a compromise that enables them to excel in their harsh environment.

Inhabiting remote regions among jagged cliffs and frigid seas, auks navigate environments characterized by challenging weather conditions and stark landscapes. These areas often parallel those where helicopters become indispensable for both humans and animals. It is in such moments that dependable equipment is essential, inspiring the name of our brand, AUK Protection.
