Locals helping locals! The South Shore Search And Rescue Auction 2023!

For more than 30 years, local volunteers from GAMRU South Shore Search And Rescue have sailed into Lake Ontario in every kind of weather to help save their neighbours' lives and protect property. In that time, many skilled and determined volunteers - some with little prior boating experience - have become the pillars of an unlikely system that works uncommonly well. They have earned the respect of their community and their peers in the marine search and rescue community.

With over 70 calls in the last two seasons, GAMRU remains busy on the waters of Lake Ontario.

GAMRU is a community-based unit that relies almost exclusively on the generosity of the community to operate and maintain its rescue vessel and to train its 30 plus volunteer crew members.
