An RCM SAR rescue boat and crew leave Horseshoe Bay.

olunteer marine search and rescue has been part of our community for more than 30 years, a reflection of the importance of boating to the area, both commercial and recreational. The Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue (RCM-SAR, formerly the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary) Station 1, is based at the Horseshoe Bay pier, and has been there from the beginning. It is the busiest of the 40 plus RCMSAR stations around the BC coast and last year alone responded to 79 marine emergences and spent 570 hours on the water responding to those emergencies and training crews. The 40 members of Station 1, all living within 15 minutes of Horseshoe Bay, continuously train to hone emergency response skills. They are Transport Canada qualified including being certified in Electronic Navigation that allows them to navigate our waters in restricted visibility. Thank you to the volunteer men and women of RCM SAR from your community.
