I am not certain if HMCS Charlottetown escorted any Russian Arctic convoys. It was assigned to Escort Group 16 shortly after commissioning in the spring of 1944. It did make two return trips between Londonderry and Gibraltar in May of 1945.
Eventually it received a tropicalization refit...I have yet to come across any Russian/Arctic convoy duties but I will make a posting here if such information arises.
Wish I could be more certain...best of luck with your inquiry.
