“I am currently working for the Fleet Strategic Planning Branch of the Canadian CoastGuard as a Fleet Intern. As a development student, I was attracted to the idea of working for the CCG for its supportive services in relation to security, environmental protection, economic and sustainable development, as well as sovereignty.”
