After months of eagerly awaiting resources to respond to mariner emergencies, members of the Ka:'yu:'k't'h'/Che:k'tles7et'h' First Nation were excited to spot the new Search and Rescue vessel's arrival on May 18.
Since 2021 Ka:'yu:'k't'h'/Che:k'tles7et'h' and the Coastal Nations Coast Guard Auxiliary have been working together to get a SAR vessel in their community. In January construction began on the vessel in Sidney, B.C.
“I think it's a really good vessel to have considering how remote we are and due to lack of resources that we have in and around our community,” said Jack.
