Explanatory Notes
Geographical positions refer directly to the graduations of the largest scale Canadian Hydrographic Service chart (unless otherwise indicated).
Bearings refer to the true compass and are measured clockwise from 000° (North) clockwise to 359°; those relating to lights are from seaward.
Visibility of lights is that in clear weather.
Depths - The units used for soundings (metres, fathoms or feet) are stated in the title of each chart.
Elevations are normally given above Higher High Water, Large Tide (unless otherwise indicated).
EXPLANATION OF TEMPORARY AND PRELIMINARY NOTICES TO MARINERS
Certain Notices to Mariners appearing in the monthly editions have a (T) or (P) appended to the regular number. These letters indicate that the information contained in the notice is of a temporary or preliminary nature, respectively.
TEMPORARY (T) NOTICES
If a temporary change in conditions affecting navigation exists and if the change will be effective for a period of over three months, a temporary (T) notice will be published. Temporary changes which are effective for periods of less than three months will not normally be published (unless it is of exceptional interest). Otherwise, information will be promulgated as a Navigational Warning (NAVWARN) by the Canadian Coast Guard Marine Communications and Traffic Services (MCTS) Centre(s) in the affected area. (T) notices will be cancelled as necessary.
Please note that (T) notices with an end date will be automatically cancelled once the end date has passed. In the event of a change to these notices, a new Notice to Mariners will be issued.
PRELIMINARY (P) NOTICES
a. When important changes affecting navigation are to take place in the near future, a Notice to Mariners describing the change will be published, so that mariners will have advance information on the change. Such notices will be designated (P).
b. When a change in conditions affecting navigation has taken place but full information is not available, a preliminary (P) notice giving available information will be published. This notice will be followed by a regular notice when complete information becomes available. The regular notice will cancel the (P) notice.
c. When a change has taken place which is too complex to describe in a written notice, a (P) notice giving general information will be published. This notice will explain that follow up action will be taken to update charts by publishing patch corrections, new editions or new charts.
Please note that following the expiry of the 90-day comment or objection period, (P) notices describing proposed changes or intention to discontinue will be automatically cancelled. In the event of a change to these notices, a new Notice to Mariners will be issued.
ACTION REQUIRED ON RECEIPT OF (T) & (P) NOTICES
It is not customary to make permanent corrections to charts and publications from (T) & (P) notices. On receipt of such notices, the information they contain should be noted in pencil on the affected charts and/or publications.
CAUTION
Mariners are reminded that charts and publications are not corrected from (T) & (P) notices when purchased from suppliers. For the list of charts affected by (T) & (P) notices, please refer to the index on page ii of this publication.

*809(T)/22Port de Montréal – Waterway Information: Calculation of Under-Keel Clearance
Reference chart: 1310
Canadian Coast Guard Marine Communications and Traffic Services has been using all Canadian Hydrographic Service water-level stations for the calculation of passage authorizations in the Sorel–Montreal sector of the navigational waterway, namely Sorel, Contrecoeur, Varennes, Montreal-Frontenac and Montreal-Jetty No. 1.
In light of the particular features of the navigational waterway in the portion between buoys M84 (downstream of the municipality of Verchères) and M157 (opposite to the Port of Montreal, section 109) as well as the No. 1 Anchorage Pointe-aux-Tremble, it was agreed to adjust upward the available water column by 10 cm in this portion.
The minimum water column in this portion of the navigational waterway as per the Varennes hydrographic station, obtained after adjustment, will be used for the calculation of under-keel clearance.
