SAR Games

The 7th annual SARSCENE Games were the feature event for Day 1 of SARSCENE 2003. Held at the Lemoine Point Conservation Area, the games brought seven Canadian and one Icelandic team together to compete in various SAR events.

Even with the high winds and driving rains, competition was fierce in both the traditional games and the canine competition.
