Over the (wet) weekend of June 5th and 6th, eleven Valley SAR members successfully completed training in Project Lifesaver technology and search techniques.  This was facilitated by officers in the Ontario Provincial Police who are also members of the OPP Emergency Response Team.  Seven VSAR members were further certified as Trainers for Project Lifesaver.
