The Missing are overdue, lost, injured, stranded, or victims of natural or man-made disasters. They are children, youth, seniors, despondent, or otherwise at-risk. They are outdoor adventurers, or hunters who may have lost their way. Regardless of the cause of their situation, the Missing are vulnerable.
To report a missing person, please call 911 immediately.
Professional search and rescue volunteers constantly train. This past weekend we hosted Triage training to prepares our members to respond to a mass casualty event. Should the need arise our members are now trained in the START method, which will help our members stay calm and methodical.
Many thanks to David from Parkland Search and Rescue - Saskatchewan for your expertise, and to members from Moose Jaw Search & Rescue and Parkland Search and Rescue - Saskatchewan for participating in our day.

Search And Rescue Regina hosted two recruitment events in September.
Becoming a professional SAR volunteer is a commitment of time and money. We want to ensure that those who join our team understand that commitment.
By attending an information session and field day, potential new recruits determine if they are able to fully participate and be part of our team. Following acceptance as a Member-In-Training, new recruits complete Ground Search and Rescue, Incident Command System, First Aid and anti-harassment training. Only then are they ready to help bring home the missing.

Search And Rescue Regina members participated in the Sisters in Spirit annual vigil at the Place of Reflection Stone Medicine Wheel at the RCMP Heritage Centre to remember and honour the lives of those who were taken and those who are still missing. We will never stop searching for them!
