Patrol Areas
There are five main patrol areas of the Canadian Rangers. Those are the Canadian Forces Northern Area (CFNA), Land Force Quebec Area (LFQA), Land Force Central Area (LFCA), Land Force Western Area (LFWA) and the Land Force Atlantic Area (LFAA). Each patrol area is directly controlled by the headquarters unit of a Canadian Ranger Patrol Group or CRPG (in French, Groupe de Patrouilles des Rangers Canadiens or GPRC).

Famous quotes containing the word areas:
“Helping children at a level of genuine intellectual inquiry takes imagination on the part of the adult. Even more, it takes the courage to become a resource in unfamiliar areas of knowledge and in ones for which one has no taste. But parents, no less than teachers, must respect a child’s mind and not exploit it for their own vanity or ambition, or to soothe their own anxiety.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
