GROUND SEARCH AND RESCUE Inverness County GSAR started around 1988. The inset photo is from one of many annual Fishing Derbies we held in Margaree Lake-O-Law. Our team looked forward to seeing so many loyal people that attended every year, in hopes of catching the biggest fish. The fundraiser helped us socially and financially. In this unprecedented time with COVID-19, all our fundraisers were stopped. We would like everyone to know that Inverness County GSAR is always waiting on-call when you need us 24/7. We are keeping up with searches, training, having meetings by phone and keeping our distance. We all look forward to seeing people once again at our BBQ, Fishing Derbies, bingos, ticket sales, etc. We would like to thank everyone for their continued support. MANY THANKS to the RCMP, EMO and NSSAR ASSOCIATION. We would not be a team without you. INVERNESS COUNTY LUNENBURG COUNTY GROUND SEARCH AND RESCUE Lunenburg County Ground Search and Rescue Team was formed in 1978 in response to several searches in the area and started to organize as a group. In 44 years the Team has advanced to a highly trained group of searchers with always one goal in mind and that is to locate that lost or missing person. We are dispatched through the RCMP or Municipal Police Services. The Team also assists REMO in disaster emergencies. We help educate the public through the Hug-A-Tree program on what to do if you get lost and how to get found. The Team has members trained and certified with the Project Lifesaver program in Nova Scotia. It is a program developed to easier locate adults, children and others who are at risk to wander. Everyone is trained in First Aid and CPR, survival, GPS, map and compass and many other qualifications needed to perform our tasks. The Team is always looking for volunteers - please contact us at 902-644-2599, if you are interested. Wilderness Survival Guide 99
