The Missing are overdue, lost, injured, stranded, or victims of natural or man-made disasters. They are children, youth, seniors, despondent, or otherwise at-risk. They are outdoor adventurers, or hunters who may have lost their way. Regardless of the cause of their situation, the Missing are vulnerable.
Check out ALL the metal we found during our urban clue detection walk yesterday. Hopefully, many 🛞🛞 can live another day of fullness thanks to the hands of our volunteers 😁 #springcleaning #cleaninguptheneighborhood #everybitcounts #volunteer #yqr #savethewheels
Being ready, willing and able to provide emergency first aid to a found missing person is essential for every professional Search and Rescue volunteer. Thank you Saskatchewan RCMP Member and Saint John Ambulance @sjacana da First Aid Instructor Shawn for giving up your weekend to deliver this essential training for us. The SJA course is incredibly detailed, current, and practical, and Shawn's real-life knowledge and first responder experience was so incredibly relevant for us. #BringThemHome #SOTHATOTHERSMAYLIVE #FirstAid

SAR Regina hosted Search and Rescue Saskatchewan Association of Volunteers's ground searcher training and SAR members attended from Highway 55n SAR, Prince Albert Grand Council Search Rescue and Recovery, Porcupine Plain Search & Rescue, South Saskatchewan First Nations SAR, Wadena and District SAR, and Wood River Search and Rescue.
