PCSAR President's Report
??? update
Due to provincial requirements Pincher Creek Search and Rescue has been divided into two groups in 2016, Pincher Creek Search and Rescue and the Community Response Group. We are still in the process of rebuilding the volunteer base but are no longer in crisis mode. We currently have 16 members in PCSAR and 44 members in CRG (up from 8 previously). We have 23 years of organized Search and Rescue in our community and we would like to thank all the volunteers for their dedicated service. Pincher Creek Search and Rescue has had great support from the Town and Municipality as well as Shell. Brett and Igor met with the Town and MD to review a 4 year budget and received great feedback. We are to meet with the Town and MD tentatively in March, 2019 to discuss further. Also received good support from Shell and the Casino in September, 2018. The next Casino will be in 3 years. We have been invited to a Mock Search in Coaldale. Our SAR Basics/Fundamentals course will be running Nov 23rd-25th, 2018 and Dec 7th - 9th, 2018 (Mock Search being held on Dec 8th, 2018 at 6:30pm).
