Recently, the Comox Valley Classic Cruisers were invited to have a presentation and tour of their facilities by Comox Valley Search & Rescue ( https://www.cvgsar.com/ ). CVSAR members, Chris Bowen, Win Koch, Scott Larsen and Mike Fournier were wonderful hosts and certainly opened up our club’s eyes as to the myriad of specialty services CVSAR is ready to perform.
On behalf of the Comox Valley Classic Cruisers, treasurer, Irene Mattson, was please to make a cheque presentation to Comox Valley Ground Search and Rescue Vice-President, Chris Bowen, in support of all of the important work that they do.
Comox Valley Search & Rescue is a volunteer-based organization dedicated to helping people in distress across some of the most challenging terrain on Vancouver Island. Their team responds 24 hours a day, year-round, working closely with RCMP, BCEHS, and partner agencies to bring people home safely.
Their members are highly trained volunteers who generously give their time to search, rescue, medical response, and community education. From mountain and wilderness searches to rope, avalanche, swiftwater, and K-9 operations, they are ready to respond when people need help most. Search and rescue is always provided at no cost, and our ability to do this work is made possible through the dedication of our volunteers and the ongoing support of our community.
The Comox Valley Classic Cruisers are grateful for all of the members of Comox Valley Search & Rescue, and completely support their mission and important contribution to the community, as well as the entire island and the province.
