This will decrease response time, decrease vehicle costs, and decrease team hours required for maintenance. We are requesting funding from the County and the Towns based on the fact that these are the citizens we serve, and this is the geographic region which we serve. Background: Valley Search and Rescue is a registered Emergency Service Provider which serves the County of Kings. It is a non-profit charitable organization staffed completely by volunteers, and is the only service provider in the County to be trained and equipped to respond to lost or injured person emergencies in wilderness environments. We operate under the jurisdiction of the RCMP, and in collaboration with the Emergency Management Office (EMO). We have rescued hunters, hikers, fishermen, veterans with PTSD, despondent seniors, persons with mental illness, daughters, fathers and sons. We have saved lives, and at times when that was not possible we have brought closure to families. We know we are the only ones who can do it, and we take that very seriously. Since it’s inception in 1972, VSAR has relied heavily on fundraising and donations, while receiving varying levels of financial support from the County. Currently, our operating budget includes $42 000 from the County, while our total operating costs are approximately $70 000. Historically, we have done the best we could with less-than-adequate funding. We built our original base ourselves, and remained in it for about 40 years, long after we had outgrown it. We receive out-of-service vehicles for one dollar and convert them into command vehicles, investing much time and effort, only to have them deteriorate and become unsafe or unfeasible after five years or so, at which point we have to replace them again. It has been a necessity for us to have a garage for years, but this has been unobtainable under the current funding system. In the last ten years Valley SAR has undergone a complete team revitalization and incorporated revolutionary technological advancements. National GSAR standards for training have been released from the Canada Standards Association, and we hold ourselves to that measure. We have incorporated the Incident Command System, used by all other emergency organizations (EMO, REMO, Fire, RCMP, Page 1 Valley Search and Rescue Garage Funding Proposal EHS) and we are proficient in it. Our command staff, support staff and searchers train constantly, every week, to be absolutely ready when we are called out. We utilize search management software, mapping software, and real-time tracking (RTT) radios with GPS. Our command vehicle has three networked computers, wifi, a full-sized copier, marine, air, RTT, TMR and VHS radios. We have two amphibious all-terrain vehicles, forward Looking Infrared Radar, and Electronic Tracking equipment.

    The Bulletin TRANSPORT ACTION ATLANTIC SPRING - SUMMER 2018 VIA Rail at 40 The good, the bad, and the ugly (PHOTOS – Tim Hayman, with top right inset from early VIA timetable) In 2018 Canada’s national passenger rail service is marking the 40th anniversary of its creation. Some critics will ask if there’s really anything to celebrate after four decades of retrenchment and cutbacks. But optimists think there just might be a headlight at the end of the tunnel. Our coverage begins on page 7. The Bulletin is published twice a year by Transport Action Atlantic Box 268, Dartmouth NS B2Y 3Y3 Editorial Committee: Don MacLeod, Tim Hayman and Ted Bartlett TAA Executive Ted Bartlett President Moncton NB 386-3615 Ashley Morton Vice-president Halifax NS 999-7017 Donald MacLeod Treasurer Halifax NS 876-7960 Tim Hayman Secretary/Webmaster Halifax NS 818-9948 Christine Mills Garnet Membership Secretary Dartmouth NS 461-0301 Board Members Michael Perry Fredericton NB Marcus Garnet Dartmouth NS Allan MacDonald Antigonish NS David Gunn West Bay NS Tom Beckett St. John’s NL Yves Bourgeois Shippagan NB John Cormier Charlottetown PEI President Emeritus John Pearce, Dartmouth NS Honorary Director James Munves, Charlottetown PEI www.transportactionatlantic.ca VIA is celebrating its 40th birthday, and it’s hard not to notice! “40 Years/Ans” branding has showed up all over the system, including on a multitude of locomotives and passenger cars, and on signs like this one above the customer service desk in Montreal’s Central Station (PHOTO – Ted Bartlett) 2 Advocacy and Policy Advocacy in Action TAA continues dialogue with politicians – and others Plenty of issues out there to keep us engaged as public transportation advocates these days!
