Membership has many benefits, but it does require a certain amount of commitment, and skill.
All members are required to have a Pleasure Craft Operator Competency Card.
It is beneficial if you have Standard First Aid training, and a Restricted Radio Operator Certification.
If you don't have the basics, contact us, and we can provide you with the necessary training to become a volunteer. All the training is FREE.
Members interested in volunteering for Prince Rupert Marine Rescue crew must be able to meet the physical conditions of long hours on the water in rough conditions, be willing to be on call for incidents.
As a CCGA crew volunteer, you will have an opportunity to operate the rescue boat, perform first aid, search and rescue operations and operate various equipment (fire/de-watering, towing, navigation, rescue, etc). You will become a part of CCGA crew, with an opportunity for further training as a Coxswain, Advanced Crew, ARTE or Courtesy Checker.
