SEARCH AND RESCUE IN CANADIAN AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY<br />
The <strong>Canadian</strong> Forces (CF) in co-operation with the <strong>Canadian</strong> <strong>Coast</strong> <strong>Guard</strong> (CCG) has overall responsibility for<br />
coordination of federal aeronautical and maritime Search and Rescue (SAR) activities in Canada, including <strong>Canadian</strong><br />
waters and the high seas off the coasts of Canada. The CF provides dedicated SAR aircraft in support to marine SAR<br />
incidents. The CCG coordinates maritime SAR activities within this area and provides dedicated maritime SAR vessels in<br />
strategic locations. Joint Rescue Coordination Centres (JRCC) are maintained at Victoria, BC, Trenton, ON and Halifax,<br />
NS These centres are staffed 24 hours a day by <strong>Canadian</strong> Forces and <strong>Canadian</strong> <strong>Coast</strong> <strong>Guard</strong> personnel. Each JRCC is<br />
responsible for an internationally agreed designated area known as a Search and Rescue Region (SRR). In addition,<br />
Maritime Rescue Sub-Centres (MRSC), staffed by <strong>Coast</strong> <strong>Guard</strong> personnel, are maintained at St. John's, NL and at Québec,<br />
QC to coordinate local marine SAR operations.<br />
