From Coast to coast, the Air Force is at work every day here at home. Whether it is defending Canadian airspace, flying search and rescue missions that save lives, intercepting aircraft or ships carrying illegal drugs or providing relief during national disasters like floods or ice storms, we play a direct role in keeping Canada and Canadians safe. The Air Force flies peace support mission and conveys relief workers, emergency food and medical supplies to scenes of natural disasters or where armed conflicts have left little behind – alleviating suffering and saving lives. The global neighbours we help, often become valuable trading partners.
