AWARDS

2005 SAR Awards

Do you know an individual or group that has made a significant contribution to the efforts of search and rescue across Canada? Nominate them for the Outstanding Search and Rescue Achievement Award or a Certificate of Achievement.

The National Search and Rescue Secretariat's Awards Program was introduced in 1995 to acknowledge outstanding work done by search and rescue providers and organizations, and to raise awareness of search and rescue efforts across Canada.

The Outstanding SAR Achievement Award recognizes exceptional contributions to Canadian SAR by an individual or organization. The Certificates of Achievement recognize individuals or groups who have made significant contributions to SAR.

The award and certificates will be presented at SARSCENE 2005 in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island on Oct. 8, 2005.

Nominations are due May 31, 2005.

Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary Awards

To recognize its volunteer members, the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary (CCGA) has created an awards program to honour the achievements of its members nationwide.

To be eligible for any of the nine honours, a candidate's recognized service or activity must have occurred after Sept. 13, 1999 - when the awards program was adopted.

There is no nomination deadline as the Committee meets twice a year to review the nominations. The awards are presented in each region during the Annual General Meeting.

Nomination forms, rules and criteria can be found through any regional office of the CCGA.
