===Canadian=== Canadian NORAD Region Headquarters is at [[CFB Winnipeg]], Manitoba. It was established on 22 April 1983.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.norad.mil/Portals/29/Documents/A%20Brief%20History%20of%20NORAD%20%28current%20as%20of%20March%202014%29.pdf,|title=p. 41.}}</ref> It is responsible for providing surveillance and control of Canadian airspace. The [[Royal Canadian Air Force]] provides alert assets to NORAD. CANR is divided into two sectors, the Canada East Sector and Canada West Sector. Both Sector Operations Control Centers (SOCCs) are co-located at [[CFB North Bay]], Ontario. The routine operation of the SOCCs includes reporting track data, sensor status and aircraft alert status to NORAD headquarters. In 1996, CANR was renamed [[1 Canadian Air Division]] and moved to [[CFB Winnipeg]]. Canadian air defense forces assigned to NORAD include [[409 Tactical Fighter Squadron]] at [[CFB Cold Lake]], Alberta and [[425 Tactical Fighter Squadron]] at [[CFB Bagotville]], Quebec. All squadrons fly the [[McDonnell Douglas CF-18 Hornet]] fighter aircraft.<ref>{{Cite news| url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/cf-18-hornets-1.1003648 | title=Canada's CF-18 Hornets | work=CBC News | date=21 March 2011}}</ref> To monitor for drug trafficking, the Canadian NORAD Region monitors all air traffic approaching the coast of Canada, in cooperation with the [[Royal Canadian Mounted Police]] and the United States drug law enforcement agencies.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cbc.ca/archives/categories/war-conflict/defence/norad-watching-the-skies/topic---norad-watching-the-skies.html|title=CBC Archives|date=10 April 2013}}</ref> Any aircraft that has not filed a flight plan may be directed to land and be inspected by RCMP and [[Canada Border Services Agency]].
