SO PRIVILEGED TO LEARN FROM THE EXPERTS

At the end of March, Gene and Sandy Ralston, who have spent many years finding and recovering 135 drowned victims throughout North American, made the long journey from Idaho, to come and provide in classroom and on the water training for our crew on the Shuswap.

We are incredibly grateful to Gene and Sandy for sharing their experience, knowledge and hands-on training.

So much to learn about:
- underwater search methodology
- identification of submerged objects, including human bodies
- use equipment and search technology (side-scan sonor and ROV) - how to search large areas of water where divers would struggle or be unable to see
- data interpretation

Thank you to CSRD, BC Community Gaming Grants and private donors for making this possible. Thank you to the District of Sicamous for allowing us to use such a beautiful venue at the Sicamous Community Health Centre.

STARTING OUT IS NEVER EASY

We knew we needed to bring in expert trainers, in order to move our team of search and recovery volunteers closer to being mission-ready. THANK YOU to CSRD (and specifically the Electoral E and F Area Directors and residents) for believing in our mission.

Through the Grant-In-Aid funding and private donations, DWQ received $ to help bring the experts to our shore here in Sicamous.
