"On July 19th, Leah and two of her co-worker nurses from HSC Emergency spent the better part of the day
in a Lockheed C-130 Hercules as part of a 'search and rescue' training exercise with the Canadian military."




( "Search and rescue (SAR) is the search for and provision of aid to people who are in distress or imminent danger.
The general field of search and rescue includes many specialty sub-fields, typically determined by the type of terrain
over which the search is conducted. These include mountain rescue; ground search and rescue (including the use of search
and rescue dogs); search and rescue in cities; combat search and rescue on the battlefield; and air-sea rescue over water." )
