RCMSAR Station #106 Campaign for New Volunteers a Huge Success

The impact of COVID and retiring members led Station #106 on a campaign to recruit and train new volunteers.  Since January 2023, the number of volunteers has burgeoned from 21 to 39!

The parent body of Station 106, Royal Canadian Marine Search & Rescue, stipulates stringent standards of training through coursework and on-the-water exercises.  The training demands many hours of commitment from our dedicated group of volunteers.  Course fees, fuel consumption, uniforms, and individual safety equipment costs to the cause are significant.

The Shuswap Lifeboat Society, the governing body for Station 106, is profoundly thankful to the following for their contributions to this campaign:

The Shuswap Community Foundation, $15,795
RCMSAR Headquarters, $10,000
Foord Family Foundation, $6,000
Enderby Lions Club, $4,000
BC Gaming Grant, $4,000

Thanks to our donors, the organization is better empowered to meet our mission, “Saving Lives on the Water” 24/7/365.
