Chart 1 is a
publication containing all the information needed to interpret nautical
charts published by the Canadian Hydrographic Service. Member nations
of the IHO (International Hydrographic Organization) produce Chart 1
using a common format. That common format consists of Sections
identified by letters and symbols, abbreviations, or terms identified
by a reference number. All Chart 1s organize these Sections and
symbols, abbreviations, or terms in the exact same order.
Traditionally Chart 1 has been produced as a booklet. This latest
version of Chart 1 is also being posted to the CHS Web Site in pdf and
in html format as well as being distributed as a Compact Disk for those
who have CD readers on their computers. Both the CD and the booklet
versions are available through Chart Dealers of the Canadian
Hydrographic Service.
