Wilderness Survival Guide 119 Springhill Ground Search and Rescue was incorporated in 1975. It was formed from the old Springhill Fish and Game Association. We still have members that were active before 1975. Our main building was constructed in 1979-80 which finally provided a base of operations for our team. We have currently around 35 active members. Because we are a non-profit, volunteer organization, all of the funds that we raise are used for equipment, training, maintenance of the hall and day-today expenses. Our members are very dedicated to doing what we do, spending hours training and preparing, taking courses or refreshing skills that we do have. Some of our members donate more than 200 hours a year. We are a vital element for Springhill and the Cumberland County area. We provide assistance to the RCMP for missing person searches and evidence searches, to Cumberland EMO and Nova Scotia EMO during any emergency situations or disasters. We are active in Project Lifesaver, and we have been teaching the Hunter Safety courses since their inception. We have been teaching the Canadian Firearms Safety course since its inception, as well. We even provided a highly-trained group in the recovery effort of the Swiss Air disaster. SPRINGHILL GROUND SEARCH AND RESCUE
