Manitoba SARMAN will excel at providing Leadership in the development and delivery of a
seamless and comprehensive Provincial Search and Rescue program.
Our Mandate
The Search and
Rescue Manitoba – Advisory Council provides a forum to discuss
common Search and Rescue issues on a Provincial basis and an
opportunity to share information regarding search and rescue
policies and programs among its members. The council represents the
interests of the Province of Manitoba Search and Rescue community at
the National level in an effort to promote the development of all
aspects of search and rescue, including prevention, policies,
standard training programs and search operations.
On behalf of the
Province, the Council reviews and makes recommendation on New
Initiative Fund (NIF) proposals from eligible local authorities,
search authorities, Volunteer Associations and other SAR Partners;
and put forward on behalf of the Province of Manitoba, the annual
Provincial omni-bus - New Initiative Fund (NIF) proposal to the
National Search & Rescue Secretariat (NSS) of Canada.
The council works
to promote and strengthen our most valuable SAR resource; that being
the Volunteer Search and Rescue Network of Manitoba.
Above all, the
council works to promote inter-agency cooperation and
inter-operability on all search and rescue operations in Manitoba,
and to promote a timely, effective and integrated Provincial
response to all SAR operations.
