"When people want to move ahead and gain skills for our team we are 100 =

"And they always come back and want more toys so we do more fund =

Local Rescuers Train in Texas

On Friday March 27, seven volunteer members of the Red Deer Search and =
Rescue Technical Rescue Team will travel to College Station Texas to =
participate in a full scale disaster exercise, over the upcoming =
weekend, in conjunction with Texas Task Force 1. The two teams entered =
into a memorandum of agreement earlier this year after Red Deer team =
members trained at 'Disaster City' in Texas over the Labour Day weekend.

Texas Task Force 1 is one of the most active search and rescue teams in =
the U.S., having responded to at least one major disaster each year =
since its inception in 1998. From the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks to =
Hurricane Katrina's devastation, Texas Task Force 1's urban search and =
rescue and water rescue teams have expertise in responding to both =
man-made and natural disasters.

Rescue Team Leader Marcel Schur says the team is excited about the =
opportunity to train with Texas Task Force 1 as their years of =
experience will be valuable in developing the Red Deer Team members =
knowledge and skills.

Red Deer Search and Rescue is a non-profit organization founded in June =
of 1996 by a group of outdoor enthusiasts with a desire to contribute =
their skills for the benefit of those who have become lost or missing. =
Working in partnership with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, =
Municipalities and other volunteer search and rescue organizations in =
Alberta, the Team is ready to provide their volunteer services anywhere =
and at anytime. Technical Rescue Team members are trained in high angle, =
confined space, structural collapse, and swift water rescue.

<P>FROM THE PRESIDENT</P></B>
<P>SAR ALBERTA UPDATE APRIL 2009</P>
<P>The past few months have been very busy for SAR Alberta with some =
interesting=20
challenges and opportunities. In March I met with AEMA Managing Director =
David=20
Hodgins to discuss the progress to date between our two organizations =
and how we=20
might better be able to move forward. Over the last year I have met over =
30=20
times with various people within AEMA and while there has been progress =
in some=20
key areas, the lack of an overall plan for search and rescue in the =
province has=20
been a problem. Mr. Hodgins did recognize the need for improvement in =
the=20
process and understands the need for the two organizations to work =
together=20
toward a common goal. He has raised the issue with his executive team =
and I have=20
heard from Colin Lloyd, the Executive Director of Operations who is =
taking the=20
initiative to see that AEMA clearly defines its role in search and =
rescue and=20
how it will continue to work with SAR Alberta to ensure an effective =
search and=20
rescue system in the province.</P>
<P>Colin Lloyd and I will be speaking again next week and we will =
provide an=20
update at the AGM. I appreciate Colin=92s perspective on things and I =
think he has=20
a good grasp of what needs to be done and how we can better work =
together to=20
support SAR in Alberta.</P>
<P>MOU</P>
<P>As part of the ongoing negotiations with AEMA SAR Alberta has =
officially=20
requested an MOU with the agency. It is hoped that the MOU will be in =
place=20
within the next six months. SAR Alberta has also, once again, requested =
an MOU=20
with the RCMP. Mike Self, with K-Division has requested clarification =
from AEMA=20
on its search and rescue role and wants that clarification in place =
before he=20
proceeds with an MOU with SAR Alberta. </P>
<P>SAR ALBERTA GRANT</P>
<P>In February SAR Alberta put forward a grant application for $25,000 =
to hire=20
an individual to help build capacity within the organization. The grant =
was=20
approved and will be issued to SAR Alberta within the next few weeks. =
Having=20
this resource in place will be key in moving the organization forward in =
the=20
next year.</P>
<P>TRAINING GRANTS</P>
<P>The training grants for the 2009/2010 season have now all been =
issued. All=20
those teams that put in applications this year received their grant =
money. As=20
most of you noticed there was an issue with the application deadline =96 =
which=20
AEMA did extend. There was also some question around the municipality =
over=20
20,000 rule. Though the situation was not ideal and did cause some =
problems for=20
teams, once the problems were identified AEMA did step up to the table =
and was=20
very helpful in trying to rectify things. Pat Henneberry, Director, =
Research,=20
Training and Accreditation did get involved and was very helpful in =
getting the=20
grants through.</P>
<P>The limit on the types of courses available this year was set by Ric=20
Henderson, in conjunction with AEMA, when Ric was acting as the training =

coordinator. SAR Alberta will be working with AEMA next year to =
streamline the=20
grant process. It has been suggested that a more coordinated approach =
across the=20
province =96 to maximize the dollars spent =96 is needed.</P>
<P>PROVINCIAL TRAINING EXERCISE</P>
<P>As part of their grant proposal Rocky Mountain House Volunteer Search =
and=20
Rescue asked for just over $20,000 to help coordinate a provincial wide =
search=20
and rescue exercise. The Minister approved this grant so the exercise =
will be=20
planned for the coming year. This will be the first provincial wide =
exercise in=20
many years and it will be an excellent learning opportunity for all the =
teams=20
and agencies involved.</P>
<P>STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSION</P>
<P>SAR Alberta will be reviewing and redeveloping its strategic plan =
over the=20
next few months. While it is important that AEMA clarify its role within =
search=20
and rescue it is also equally important for SAR Alberta to do so also. A =
lack of=20
clear direction and purpose has made it difficult for SAR Alberta to =
accomplish=20
things =96 with too few people and resources being pulled in too many =
directions.=20
It is not fair, nor was it ever, to ask people to step up to the board =
and ask=20
them to make head way when no one knows where the ship is supposed to be =
going.=20
The plan will include more than just a list of things SAR Alberta should =
do =96 it=20
will also re-examine why SAR Alberta exists, what its core functions =
should be=20
and what resources will be needed to make the organization work. SAR =
Alberta=20
will be looking for input at the AGM on the strategic plan, so it is =
important=20
for teams to be represented. It will also be important for you to have =
strong=20
regional representation on the board so that your area and organizations =
are=20
kept in the loop during this very important year.</P>
<P>REGIONAL REPS</P>
<P>Some region will no longer have representation after the AGM as their =

directors and deputy directors are stepping down. As this is going to be =
a key=20
year for search and rescue in Alberta it is important now more than ever =
that=20
teams send qualified and interested representation to the SAR Alberta =
board. A=20
lot will be happening with the clarification of roles, further =
development of=20
standards and the changes to training grants. Make sure your region has=20
representation..</P>
<P>TRAINING COORDINATOR</P>
<P>SAR Alberta is in need of a training coordinator =96 there is an =
opportunity=20
this year for someone to make a big difference in how the training =
grants are=20
used, someone with a vision on how to maximize the training efforts in =
the=20
province is really needed. If you are interested please let the SAR =
Alberta=20
board know. </P>
<P>CONFERENCE</P>
<P>If you haven=92t signed up for the conference this year please do so. =
It is=20
going to be a very good event and some significant changes are going to =
be=20
kicked off with this conference. The price does include all your =
accommodation=20
and meals so it is a very good deal. Parkland Search and Rescue would =
appreciate=20
the support and SAR Alberta needs to see all the teams at the AGM. The =
lineup=20

<P>SARVAC</P></B>
<P>SARVAC Update =96 April 2009 (Also from Monica).</P>
<P>On April 4, the Search and Rescue Volunteer Association of Canada =
(SARVAC)=20
held a strategic planning session in Toronto. Over the last years SARVAC =
has=20
been working on restructuring its governance model. Part of this has =
come about=20
as the result of a NIF (New Initiative fund) SARVAC received from the =
National=20
Search and Rescue Secretariat, that was to be used in part to help build =

capacity within SARVAC. This capacity building was part of a larger NIF =
that is=20
being used to implement a national prevention program that was =
originally=20
developed in BC.</P>
<P>In the past SARVAC=92s governance model was based on the "working =
board" model,=20
a model which most SAR groups use and are familiar with. On a working =
board the=20
members are expected to do most of the work for the organization through =

committees, etc, and it is up to them to implement the policies they =
set.</P>
<P>SARVAC is switching to a Policy board =96 which will shift the focus =
from the=20
day-to-day task of running the organization to that of developing =
strategic=20
policy and direction. The implementation of these policy directions will =
be left=20
to the hired staff SARVAC now has. </P>
<P>SARVAC has been able to move to this type of board as it now has two =
hired=20
staff members. Last year SARVAC received a NIF grant that included hired =
staff=20
as part of the proposal.</P>
<P>RCMP CHAMPION</P>
<P>The RCMP are now the champions at a national level for ground SAR. =
Though the=20
RCMP has always played a role in Ottawa on ground SAR issues there was =
no one=20
agency in Ottawa that clearly represented ground search and rescue to =
the=20
federal government. The RCMP will now officially have that role.</P>
<P>ADVENTURE SMART PROGRAM</P>
<P>SARVAC is going to instruct 10 more people from each province to =
become=20
presenters of the Adventure Smart program. This training is tentatively=20
scheduled for October. SARVAC will cover all expenses for the training =
including=20
travel, and accommodation. SAR Alberta will be setting out criteria for =
those=20
who will be selected and will be providing more information on this =
initiative=20
in the coming months.</P>
<P>SARVAC will also be training a Master trainer from each province who =
will be=20
able to instruct others in delivery of the program. This training =
session is for=20
one person only and will be held in June in Vancouver. SARVAC has asked =

when possible, one of the original three individuals sent to the first =
