Approximately 300 employees in Science & the Fisheries Protection Program of Fisheries and Oceans Canada are employed at PBS. The oldest building on the site was built in 1929 as residence for visiting scientists. The station was designated as a site of national historic significance in 2013. Credit, John Homes @ PBS
