Today, 12 of our members wrapped up a three-day Wilderness First Aid course, completed mostly outdoors. It was a great hands-on course that really makes you think about planning and preparation when heading into the Labrador backcountry—and how to better care for injuries when help is far away.

A great thanks to NL Hydro for supporting this course, our local Royal Newfoundland Constabulary for participating and Blair Doyle & Adam from Adventure and Safety Atlantic for instructing us!

Hopefully, everybody's toes and fingers are warming up now!

Hi everyone,

Thanks so much to all who came out to our AGM this past Monday — it was a great success! We’re excited to introduce your new committee:

President: Jean Healey
Vice-President: Sheldon Boyd
Treasurer: Simon Price
Secretary: Oral Burry

We're also looking for members who are interested in learning more about drones — and maybe even working toward getting their drone licence. If that sounds like something you’d enjoy, let us know!

Coming up, we have Ice Rescue Training:

May 12: Classroom session

May 20–21: Evening practical sessions on the ice

Finally, we’ll be kicking off some fundraising efforts to help grow our capacity for training and gear. Every little bit helps, and we’ll share more details soon.

Thanks again for being part of the team!

It was a great weekend of Cold Water rescue training in HVGB, thanks to Newfoundland and Labrador Search and Rescue Association for facilitating the training of technicians as well as HV-GB Ground Search and Rescue for housing the event! I was great meeting members from Labrador Straits Search and Rescue, Mary's Harbour SAR, HV-GB SAR as well as the great instructors Doug and Tristan from Bonne Bay Search and Rescue - BBSAR and Stephenville Search and Rescue
With our new in-house technicians, we will be able to provide more services for the area and bring more knowledge within the team.
