Last weekend, NVSAR Swiftwater Rescue Technicians were on the Nechako River practicing paddling and rafting skills. Also had some of our more experienced jet boat operators instructing our newer operators. Great day to be on the river!

🚨 Meet Dave Merritt — our expert guest for the June 8 webinar!

Dave has been a dedicated member of Prince George Search and Rescue since 1991, bringing 35 years of SAR experience, leadership, teaching, mentoring, and real-world rescue knowledge to the table.

From SAR management and large-scale training exercises to winter response, rope rescue, avalanche terrain safety, and 20 years with BC Cave Rescue, Dave has spent decades helping volunteers be “ready to go” when the call comes in.

Join us on June 8 to learn from Dave as he shares practical insight on:

• Group dynamics in an emergency
• Managing the scene while waiting for SAR
• Supporting safety, communication, and decision-making
• What outdoor enthusiasts can do before help arrives

If you spend time outdoors, this is a great opportunity to learn from someone who has dedicated his life to public safety, community service, and helping others.
