The CHS does re-survey, but not everywhere annually.
They have priorities, which are set by a combination
of factors including, traffic density, grounding frequency,
environmental impact of groundings etc: Here's a map
of the priorities:

I sail in a dark blue, low priority area. The charts are based on 
surveys from 1992
and earlier. I imagine that within that area, there may be spots like 
Vancouver Harbour
and Esquimalt which get more frequent attention.
