Long weekends are the busiest for the 2500 BC Search & Rescue Volunteers who respond to over 1600 incidents every year.
The “May Long Weekend” is all about playing outdoors by hiking, biking, camping & boating to kick of the summer season ahead. Incidentally, mishaps occur that can be prevented.
AdventureSmart increases awareness to help reduce the number and severity of SAR incidents by sharing our consistent safety message of the 3 T’s; trip plan, train and take essentials.
Media groups are encouraged to share our safety message online, contact us for an interview, helping us increase awareness.
