PARA MARINE SEARCH & RESCUE

PARA Marine Search & Rescue operates a volunteer-based emergency response service that conducts water rescues and search operations across Lake Ontario and the Greater Toronto Area. The organization trains and deploys personnel equipped with specialized equipment to respond to boating accidents, missing persons cases, and other water-based emergencies. Working from their base in Pickering, the team provides rapid response capabilities for situations where commercial rescue services may be delayed or unavailable. PARA Marine coordinates with coast guard agencies and local emergency services to ensure effective rescue outcomes. The charity maintains a fleet of rescue vessels and provides ongoing training to keep its volunteer members current on the latest rescue techniques and safety protocols. By focusing on water safety and emergency preparedness, PARA Marine works to reduce preventable deaths and injuries on the water.
