A BRIEF HISTORY

The Georgian Bay Volunteer Search and Rescue team was established in 1998 as a non-profit organization providing support to police and other agencies, in the form of equipment and trained search-and-rescue personnel.

Our training program ensures that each member is ready and trained above and beyond the certification set out by the Ontario Search and Rescue Volunteer Association, and the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP).

Our members provide much of their own equipment and fund-raising is used to purchase major equipment.

Apart from assisting with searches, some other areas we are involved with include providing the Hug-A-Tree program to interested schools and/or children's groups, the K-9 Unit program and Kids Prints, a Child Identification Program.

If you would like further information on the team please contact us.
