[SARA-Members] provincial training exercise

[Brett Wuth]

Hi All,

There's a provincial (actually interprovincial) training exercise
coming up in September and we'd like to get good participation from
across Alberta.

Could you please distribute this message to your members?

Calling all SAR volunteers, technical rescue teams, cavers, responding
agencies and rescue support organizations... Exercise Dark Squeeze is
an exciting multi-agency interprovincial rescue exercise in the
beautiful Crowsnest Pass (SW Alberta/SE BC) being held September 16 to
18, 2011!

This realistic scenario on the trails, flanks, heights and caves of
Mount Ptolemy involves a broad range of rescue, back country,
logistical and management skills. Work your specialized skills, such
as caving, above or below ground rope rescue, patient management,
quading, 4 wheel driving, helicopter operations, radio communications,
large scale logistics operations, and incident management.

If you're not a hardcore outdoor person/rescuer, there are rescue
components suitable for most skill and fitness levels. Many roles in
the overhead team, logistical and helicopter operations, both on and
off the mountain won't have you walking far.

Register early! The deadline is August 15. Numbers may be
limited. Full details and the registration form are at

I know some SAR workers and perhaps a few of your members don't work
much with computers.  If you want to distribute the package for your
members, you can print out the full information from:

You can also print out the registration form from:

If you'd be so kind, could you please acknowledge that your group has
received this message so that we can identify if there are gaps in
groups being aware of the provincial exercise?


Thanks!  Hope to see you in the Crowsnest Pass in September!
