With 31 boating clubs and almost 100,000 people in, on and around the water in the summer season, the need for water safety support in the Greater Toronto Area is very high. In 2021, Toronto Search and Rescue - Marine completed almost 100 shifts with 16 rescues and close to 40 lives saved. Toronto Search and Rescue - Marine receives no financial support from the City or Province while Volunteer Units in other municipalities including Pickering and Oakville receive substantial funding. Toronto Search and Rescue - Marine, a self-funded organization to date, is seeking consideration for $60,000 in annual operating funding to remain sustainable in order to provide continued water safety support.
