Advanced Tactical Training Search & Rescue

On the anniversary of Sheba's passing, it is nice to see Cleopatra step up and do her bit to help families.
This is the start of scent recognition.
Good job, Cleo.

And so it begins.
On Cleopatra's 1st birthday today, she is now starting her formal training with Tracey & Sue, who were a big influence in Sheba's training at https://canineacademy.ca/.
Although Cleopatra has been working with us on discipline, etc. all certification is done outside our group for all our dogs.
Good luck, Cleopatra, you have big paws to fill following Sheba

This past weekend, people from the Mississauga and Niagara regions braved the cold to come learn about ground and dog searches.
Learning global level of strategies when it comes to searches and how your dog reacts, they were able to take away with them an advanced understanding of how to help families.
Well done to all. We look forward to working with you in the future, as you take pride in your level of advancement.

Now that we have almost completed our new sponsors for the marine, we are ready to introduce a new sponsor in Aviation.
Meet the Griffin.
This is one of two units that will be at our disposal.
It is what is called a VTOL Vertical Take Off and Landing
As you can see from the video, it takes off vertically and then transitions into flight.
It has a flight time of about 2 1/2 hours!
The other is the Phoenix, which has six hours of flight time.
It will be here later this year.
With the ability of different cameras, including Regular, Thermal, and LIDAR. We are able to capture images and amazing distances and create a full picture
Thank you to Patrick from www.fliight.ca. We will be working with him on training and operations.

Over the past few months, we have been in negotiations with several companies, some local and some international.
Power, being one, collaborates with us to provide various items that support search and rescue operations, disaster relief, and canine training.
Donations of LifePo4 batteries for trailers and boats alike will enable us to operate in critical situations.
With our lead-acid batteries providing the standard power needed, these LifePo4 batteries will be isolated for heavy-duty requirements, as in our 12V air conditioner/Heater provided by OutEquip.
They provided us not only with an incredible power source but also with specific charging and monitoring equipment. We are very proud to welcome them to our sponsors.
