2020 proved to be a challenging year for all Canadian SAR programs, including our Canmore and Golden services. Covid-19 had a dramatic effect on the way we performed our operations, but did not seem to slow the volume of calls this past summer. We performed 251 missions in 2020, with 108 of those calls being longline missions requiring the Boost Human External Cargo Systems. After the initial lock down we did not receive a call for over two months. July, however, proved to be a different story with 72 missions alone. July 11th also brought the busiest day on record for our Canmore rescue helicopters as we had two aircraft working and performed 10 missions, all 10 of which required the longline system. In 2020 we also became operational with the Recco Advanced Rescue Technology helicopter device, which is the second unit in Canada and is now accessible year round from our Canmore base. We could not have made this year a success with out the help of all our friends and partners from Kananaskis Country Public Safety Section, Alberta Parks, Parks Mountain Safety, Golden and District Search and Rescue, Alberta Health Services, STARS Air Ambulance, Canmore Fire Rescue, Lake Louise Fire Department, Redwood Meadows Emergency Services, Crowsnest Pass Fire Rescue, Banff Emergency Medical Services, Banff Mineral Springs Hospital, BC Ambulance Service, Recco Advanced Rescue Technologyand the RCMP. We are privledged to be part of of this team!

On December 28th, our Canmore Rescue Helicopter was dispatched by our friends from Parks Mountain Safety for an injured skier on the North Face of Mt.Temple. The group of three were able to dig out a platform that Visitor Safety Specialists were able to be inserted onto using the Longline Rescue System. Once on the platform in steep terrain the injured skier was placed in the rescue bag and airlifted to EMS in Lake Louise. A big thank you to Lake Louise Fire and Parks Mountain Safety.

The mountains have inherent risk. As a team of mountain enthusiasts, we understand the rewards gained from time spent in these magical places, but we also see firsthand the danger they can present. Accidents are traumatic for those involved and can overwhelm an individual's ability to cope, cause feelings of helplessness , hopelessness, and diminishes their sense of self. People who experience trauma are at a greater risk for suicide, and mountain dwellers are even more at risk. This is why Mountain Muskox has decided to create a Mountain Support Mentorship Program, and community for those who have experienced trauma inflicted by mountain catastrophe. . By beginning with a small group, then moving out to the community at large, Mountain Muskox hopes to change the dialogue around traumatic mountain events and normalize the recovery process. By developing a transferable template for mountain communities to build Muskox programs in their town, Mountain Muskox is designed to prevent further loss of life post trauma. The goal is to help those suffering to live meaningful lives and provide needed support for the outdoor communities in times of difficulty. Together we can work towards changing the dialogue around traumatic mountain events and normalize the recovery process. Donate Now to be part of the solution: http://ow.ly/Qbhf50COwQ7
