Search and rescue groups from the Okanagan Similkameen gathered on March 14 for training exercises including 24-hour survival, navigation, first aid and tracking. The second annual Okanagan Similkameen Search and Rescue Carnival provided an opportunity for networking and sharing of information between groups and to practice basic skills.
Participating teams included the Penticton Search and Rescue, Central Okanagan Search and Rescue and Princeton Search and Rescue. The scenarios were staged along the Okanagan Lake waterfront and surrounding trails in the area of the Penticton Tennis Club.
