⛑️ Global SAR Day!

Today, we celebrate SAR volunteers worldwide and especially here in BC, where Sept 10, 1982, marked history.

That’s when the 1st ever COSPAS-SARSAT rescue saved 3 people in northern BC. This tech still helps save lives every day.🌎

A huge 🙏 to all the dedicated SAR volunteers!

They chatted about SAR, the value of our National Parks & bonded over their shared ❤️ for The Tragically Hip 🎸
Way to go 👍🏼Chris!
