We’ve received a few inquiries for details about the National SAR Secretariat’s SARScene national SAR conference being co-hosted by BCSARA. We are told that the funding request is with Defence Minster MacKay and will hopefully be approved soon.
We are tentatively planning for October 18-21 in Kelowna and as soon as more details are available we will post them. You can also watch for announcements and more details at the SARScene web site: www.sarscene.ca
Please approve this funding, Minister MacKay! Volunteer SAR members across the country count on this event to renew enthusiasm, learn new skills, network, and gain exposure to how we can make improvements to our systems – all of which serve the people of Canada.
And the sooner the better… we need to arrange time off work, travel arrangements, family stuff…
Cheers!
L. Phillips, Prince George Search and Rescue
