RCM-SAR and West Coast Search and Rescue
Spears asserts that we owe it to the two Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue (RCM-SAR) members who tragically died on June 3 during a training exercise to ensure that we have a robust SAR system and be guided by the motto of search and rescue — “so others may live”. On Canada’s West Coast, we must be forever vigilant.
