Royal Canadian Marine SAR Ladysmith Station 29 Recruiting

Station 29 is sponsored by the Ladysmith and District Marine Rescue Society and provides marine search and rescue services for the northern section of the Gulf Islands, including the islands and waters between Dodd Narrows to the north and Sansum Narrows to the south. The 24 active members provide 24/7 response for marine emergencies as well as community education and public safety services. Their current response vessel is a 25’ Zodiac Hurricane RIB and the society is currently fundraising to purchase a new response vessel in 2014. This vessel, to be built on Vancouver Island, will greatly enhance operational and medical first aid responsiveness.

The Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue is a non-profit organization that needs support and donations from the public. For further information on Ladysmith Unit 29 or any rescue station in your area, visit www.rcmsar.com
