Description & Services
Information
Ground Search & Rescue (QCGSR) has been helping the citizens of Liverpool and Queens County since 1978.
QCGSR is one of 23 member teams in Nova Scotia.
All membership is 100% volunteer.
Training programs are presently scheduled for every Monday from 7PM to 9PM at the Liverpool Ground Search and Rescue Centre. Training includes navigational programs, map reading, boating and ground search procedures.
The responsibility for lost and missing persons in Canada rests with the RCMP, however police rarely have the resources required to launch an extensive search. That is where ground search and rescue volunteers come in. These volunteers provide a valuable service to Queens County and give hundreds of hours of their time each year to the extensive training they require and the actual searches.
