9 Wing Search & Rescue

SAR Techs are the Search and Rescue element of the Canadian Armed Forces, part of an elite group of paramedics that provide on-scene medical aid and evacuation across Canada. Usually, they’re rescuers of the last resort, getting called out in the worst weather to the most remote parts of Canada. I’ve had the opportunity to work with SAR teams before out of 19 Wing in Comox, BC and it was fantastic to be part of operations again with No.103 Search and Rescue at 9 Wing, Gander in Newfoundland. Totally committed to helping those in distress, they turn chaos into hope and absolutely embody their motto, “That Others May Live”.
