Our CFB Halifax social media sites (Twitter, Facebook and Instagram) will also be updated by 6 a.m. in the event of a Base closure or delayed opening.
*Please note that information provided through the 12 Wing Shearwater storm line and the 12 Wing RAVE notification system is only applicable to Royal Canadian Air Force units that fall under the authority of Commander 12 Wing.
