Many mariners understand the importance of having charts onboard but it’s just as important to ensure your charts are up to date.  If a buoy has changed or there is a new obstruction, you need to know about it before you encounter it, not after.  CHS regularly updates charts and it’s essential you have the latest updates for safe navigation.

Chart corrections are issued through Notices to Mariners by the Canadian Coast Guard.  These notices contain updates to charts as well as sailing directions, buoys, radio aids and more.

If you have a paper chart, you can register on the Notices to Mariners web site to receive email notifications of updates to your chart. You can also print patches to your charts from this web site.

You can also type in your chart number below to access the latest Notices to Mariners for your chart.
