Saskatoon Search and Rescue

At the beginning of May, our newest members learned all about the Project Lifesaver International Headquarters program and how it works here in Saskatoon. From the how-it-works to the how-tos of using the technology, they put in the time and practiced their skills to become Electronic Search Specialists with the PLI program!

Recently SSAR team member Shelley spoke with media about how important this program is, and how we’ll hopefully see it in more places in the coming years.

Happy to help out our friends at Meewasin!

Big shoutout to the incredible team at Saskatoon Search and Rescue for stepping up in the Northeast Swale last week!

Following a recent incident that highlighted potential safety concerns in the area, their volunteers quickly mobilized to help dismantle and clean up a structure at the Rec Zone. Their response was thoughtful, thorough, and made an immediate difference in reducing risk and caring for this important natural space.

This is what community looks like. People showing up, working together, and taking action to protect the places we all cherish.

As we continue our clean-up campaign in the Valley, this kind of partnership and shared stewardship is more important than ever. Thank you to everyone who’s pitching in to keep the Valley clean, welcoming, and vibrant.
