Formatting changes are too extensive to identify changes this way. But save this method for next year. Instead print out both documents and hand compare. See scan in Brett's 2020-01-06 notes.

Major changes:

• "Increasing the capability of Albertas' search and rescue communities to respond to ground and inland searches".
  • No longer "disaster, emergencies and searches"
• Eligible entities are volunteer
• Groups no longer have to be members of SAR Alberta

Of note (not changes)

• student travel is ineligible
  • But form says may be accepted. We listed $700 last year for SAR Basics, but got only a part of our course total, much less than would be accounted for by this number.
