Here’s to another year of safety and teamwork 🎉
The team was back to training this evening working through a scenario of a missing/overdue canoeist. We utilized our ground search, swiftwater, and marine rescue teams to safely locate, assist, and transport our subject to safety.
We are still training regularly through the holiday season. Today, member Jana gave us a classroom refresher on different types of transceivers, their advanced functions and how to most effectively use them in multi-casualty incidents. Then we headed outside for some hands on practice.

Last night's training, with great member turnout, saw the team tackle a full scale mock motor vehicle incident with patient ejections down a steep slope embankment. We thank drivers for slowing down when passing our roadside trainings.
Today, Kaslo Search and Rescue honours the brave men and women who served and sacrificed for our country. We are inspired by their courage and dedication and strive to carry forward their legacy in our own service.
