 | In response to the growing requirement for helicopter-carrying destroyers on Canada's Pacific Coast, 443 Squadron was transferred to Pat Bay BC in July 1989. |
| With the demise of the Cold War, HS 443 became more involved in a number of government inter-departmental roles such as sovereignty surveillance of Canada's Exclusive Economic Zone, support to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and the RCMP. |
| With its expanded mandate to provide support to other government departments, HS 443 along with its sister squadron, HS 423 at Shearwater, were redesignated Maritime Helicopter Squadrons in 1995 to reflect both their military and government support roles. |
