We cover the largest geographic area of any SAR team in Nova Scotia. Our dedicated volunteers are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Guided by the SAR motto, "so others may live," every donation we receive directly supports our ability to mobilize, reach remote areas, and assist those in need.
