Joint SAREX with Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary and 424 Sqn. a great success

This year marks the sixth time that exercises have been held on both Lakes Erie and Ontario in preparation for SAR season.
Elements from both the Canadian Coast Guard, Coast Guard Auxiliary, local fire departments, EMS as well as local police forces took part in our most successful exercise to date. Our own 424 Squadron was also very prominent on the Sunday of the two day exercise.
