ORGANIZATION

The organizational structure of the CCGA is testament to its humanitarian ideals and its grassroots strengths.

In Canada, six Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliaries are federally incorporated as non-profit associations.

• CCGA National Inc.
  
• CCGA Pacific Inc.
  
• CCGA Central & Arctic Inc.
  
• CCGA Quebec Inc.
  
• CCGA Maritimes Inc.
  
• CCGA Newfoundland Inc.

Each association has a legal entity separate from that of the Government of Canada.

The Presidents of each of the five regional associations are members of the CCGA National Council, chaired by an elected Chief Executive Officer. The National Council oversees the administrative and business requirements that concern every region.

In seaside villages, marinas and ports across Canada, auxiliarists are organized into units that handle missions in their vicinity. Each unit is led by an elected unit leader. A group of units combines to make up a zone led by a Director.
