The Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC) is the primary supplier of meteorological and water resources information in Canada. The MSC monitors, predicts and warns Canadians of high impact weather, air quality and other environmental conditions to mitigate and reduce disaster-related risks. The MSC also supports mission-critical operations of federal, provincial and territorial, municipal and private organizations that rely on MSC’s infrastructure, science capacity, and experience to deliver on their mandate (e.g. aviation, emergency management, health, water management, military and marine operations).
