Lunenburg County Ground Search and Rescue Team was formed in 1978 in response to several searches in the area and started to organize as a group. In 40 years the Team has advanced to a highly trained group of searchers with always one goal in mind and that is to locate that lost or missing person . We are dispatched through the RCMP or Municipal Police Services. The Team also assists REMO in disaster emergencies . We help educate the public through the Hug A Tree program on what to do if you get lost and how to get found. The Team has members trained and certified with the Project Lifesaver program in Nova Scotia. It is a program developed to easier locate adults , children and others who are at risk to wander. Everyone is trained in First Aid and CPR, survival, GPS, map and compass and many other qualifications needed to perform our tasks.
The Team is always looking for volunteers - please contact us if you are interested at 902 644-2599 .
