"I can still picture him, I can still smell him. But now, I'm not gonna have another dad" In this video, The Survivors, we listen to family members & friends of those lost to the sea share their stories - a chilling reminder to be safe at sea. For those heading out this coming lobster season, remember to wear your PFD. Because what you're catching is not the most important thing, it's who's waiting for you to come home.

The 1PM Argyle safety drill on Tuesday has been cancelled

A great safety message from Capt. Kasey DeMings. Before the start of every lobster season, he walks his crew through a detailed safety checklist. While he’s taken part in safety drills organized by the Fisheries Safety Association of Nova Scotia and other organizations, he also organizes his own man-overboard drills and invites people to participate and observe. Any safety training is useful, he says.

Updated schedule for next week!

Sorry folks, this drill has been canceled due to unforeseen circumstances! We're working to re-schedule!

Please note that our office will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday November 11th in observance of Remembrance Day. Lest we forget

Argyle, the team will be in your area Thursday for a safety demo! See you there!

Excellent Lessons Learned from former fisherman Neil LeBlanc. Sharing his experiences and the importance of safety.

A little throw back to our 2018 Are You READY MOB Drill in Port Mouton where CBC joined us to capture this footage

Effective yesterday at 4:30PM our offices have closed for the next 2 weeks / 14 days. As our office is located in the HRM, and all staff resides in different parts of the Municipality we felt it was best for us to switch to working from home to help #StopTheSpread of COVID-19. We are still business as usual and are available for phone calls, emails, virtual meetings, and training course registration. We will re-evaluate our office closure in 2 weeks.

Pre-Season Safety Tip

Safety Tip: make sure your re-boarding ladder works for YOUR vessel Your ladder should: - have 2-3 steps past the waterline - fit over the rail... - be easily accessible and quick to use See more
