About the Awards About the Awards While individual organizations within the National Search and Rescue Program may have programs to recognize the efforts of their own personnel, such recognition often does not reach the public or others involved in the SAR world. In its role to develop a national SAR program, the National Search and Rescue Secretariat has established two annual national awards to recognize worthy achievements in the field of search and rescue in Canada. Nominations should be sent in by the date indicated on the nomination
form (html
pdf).
The awards are announced by the Lead Minister for Search and Rescue, who
also presents the recipients with the award and the certificates of achievement
at SARSCENE, the annual search and rescue workshop. Outstanding SAR Achievement Recipients Implemented in 1995, the annual award honours the person or group who has made the most significant contribution to search and rescue in Canada during that year or over a sustained period. Certificates of Achievement Recipients Implemented in 1996, this certificate is awarded to a person or group
to recognize excellence in search and rescue in a particular field.
