Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary
The Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary (Pacific) includes approximately 1,400 individuals who volunteer many hours of their time in the service of marine search and rescue operations in B.C.
With 232 vessels at their dispatch, they participate in nearly one-third of the SAR incidents that occur along the B.C. coast, either as the main resource or as an additional response unit. They also assist in promoting safety on B.C. waters through a range of educational activities.
To become a volunteer one must participate in a basic qualification program and complete extensive training before commanding community-owned response vessels.
