We were honoured to be asked to provide water safety support for Wings Over White Rock, celebrating the 55th anniversary of the Canadian Forces Snowbirds. 🇨🇦✈️

The Snowbirds will be retiring their current aircraft at the end of the 2026 season, making this year’s celebrations especially meaningful.

The 45-minute show was absolutely incredible! Watching these highly skilled pilots perform with such precision and confidence is a true testament to their exceptional talent, dedication, and the countless hours of training behind every manoeuvre.

It was a privilege to be on the water supporting this special event and to witness such an amazing display of Canadian aviation excellence. ❤️🇨🇦

On the morning of June 28, the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre JRCC Victoria tasked Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue RCMSAR Station 6 Richmond to respond to an active distress incident involving a fishing vessel that capsized southwest of Sturgeon Bank in the Strait of Georgia.

RCMSAR 8 Delta joined RCMSAR Richmond 6 and RCMSAR Richmond 7 in a coordinated search for reported persons in the water. Search and rescue operations were conducted alongside the Canadian Coast Guard, the RCMP, the Royal Canadian Air Force, and numerous vessels of opportunity.

Our thoughts are with the families, friends, and communities of those involved in this tragic incident.

We ask that anyone operating on the water in the coming days remain vigilant, as debris or other items related to the incident may still be present in the area. Any observations of concern should be reported immediately to the Canadian Coast Guard through Marine Communications and Traffic Services MCTS on VHF Channel 16 or by dialing *16 from a cellular phone. If lives are in immediate danger, a Mayday call should be made on VHF Channel 16 without delay.

This incident serves as a solemn reminder of the importance of marine safety. RCMSAR encourages all boaters to wear a properly fitted lifejacket, ensure all required safety equipment is onboard and serviceable, and carefully assess weather and local conditions before departing.

Further inquiries regarding the incident should be directed to the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre JRCC Victoria, the lead agency coordinating the response.
