Grande Prairie’s Technical Search and Rescue is unveiling its new vehicle during a ceremony at Prairie Mall Centre Court on March 1st.
TSR officials say they have been fundraising for “several years” to replace vehicles in their fleet to support ground searching and backcountry rescue to the Grande Prairie region.
The organization has secured a vehicle, completed its outfitting, and is now looking to share the milestone with the rest of the community. Search and Rescue Alberta President Brian Carriere calls the new vehicle a “great addition” to the local group’s fleet.
“This is a great addition to Technical Search & Rescue’s fleet that will allow them to extend their reach, transport responders, and provide a better service when called upon,” he says.
The event is scheduled for Saturday, March 1st at 11:30 a.m., is open to the public, and a 50/50 draw will also run during the celebration.
