Weather in Canada | Canadian Weather Information
Most Canadians get their Canadian weather forecasts and Canadian weather reports and information from two prime sources. Environment Canada and The Weather Network are Canada's two main weather reporting organizations.
Environment Canada has approximately 7000 employees across Canada. Part of their mandate is to forecast daily weather conditions and warnings, and provide detailed meteorological information to all of Canada.
Environment Canada operates the Canadian Ice Service, the Canadian Hurricane Centre, and laboratories, weather stations and field offices to deliver quality services.
Every year, Environment Canada issues (on average) 1.5 million public forecasts, 15,000 severe weather warnings, 500,000 aviation forecasts, and 200,000 marine, ice and sea-state forecasts;
receives over 55 million calls to our weather information telephone line and averages over half a billion individual visits to our comprehensive weather website weatheroffice.gc.ca.

How Environment Canada is organized
Environment Canada with headquarters in Ottawa-Hull, is a scientific Department of the Government of Canada. It has a network of WWW servers known as The Green Lane. The Department is divided into "Services." The Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC) is the one providing Canadians with weather and climate information to enhance their safety and quality of life. The service has a national headquarters (located partly in Toronto and partly in the National Capital Region), a national weather centre, the Canadian Meteorological Centre or CMC (located partly in Toronto, partly in Dorval, QC), and Regional Centres across Canada.
