On 3 September 1991, Anticosti performed a goodwill tour of the St. Lawrence River and the Great Lakes.Шаблон:Sfn Anticosti was assigned to Maritime Forces Atlantic (MARLANT) as a minesweeping training vessel in preparation for the Maritime Coastal Defence Vessel Project (MCDV), which would become the Kingston class in the late 1990s. Anticosti was deployed by MARLANT in the annual MARCOT exercises as a minelayer.
During the investigation into the Swissair Flight 111 crash in September 1998, Anticosti was among the Maritime Command vessels that responded to the crash site. She among the many ships scoured the sea looking for the aircraft's black box as part of Operation "Persistence".[3] In March 1999, the ship sailed with Kingston-class vessels Шаблон:HMCS and Шаблон:HMCS to the Baltic Sea to participate in the NATO naval exercise "Blue Game".Шаблон:Sfn
