Hello everyone,
We are hosting ground search and rescue training in Millbrook this spring and are looking for participants. This is open to all of you and to community members. We have attached an info poster for the training to be shared with community members that we ask that you distribute.
There will be three 55 hr. Basic Searcher courses offered. This course will cover the basics of ground SAR with topics like map reading, GPS, search patterns, search management, psychology of survival, and navigation. Upon completion, successful students will qualify to become a member of their local GSAR team.
We will also be running one 44 hr. Team Leader course for those who are successful in the Basic Searcher and are interested in being a search leader. This course will provide a more in-depth look at ground SAR map reading, GPS, search patterns, search management, psychology of survival, and navigation. Upon completion, successful students will qualify to be placed in a leadership role on their local GSAR team.
Criminal Records Check and Vulnerable Sectors Check are both required for participation.
Basic Searcher Dates
April 19th -22nd 2022
April 25th -29th 2022
May 2nd -6th 2022
Team Leader
May 16th -20th 2022
If you are interested in participating, please let me know and I will provide a volunteer letter for you to proceed with getting your criminal records check and vulnerable sectors check.
Mass at Sacred Heart Church is cancelled Sunday, February 6, 2022.
Out of an abundance of caution and much discussion with the Millbrook Health Centre Team, we have come to make the hard decision to cancel the Millbrook Community “In-person” Christmas Party for the safety of our community members, elders and staff. Instead we will offer a Drive-Thru Christmas Celebration.
The Drive-thru will begin at 5pm at the Legends Bingo Hall. If you know of a family member, neighbor, senior or friend who may not have a vehicle, reach out and see how YOU can help. Stay Safe during these challenging times!
Please be respectful, kind & thoughtful to our hard working staff and volunteers.
Wela’lin,
Sunshine Bernard
