Shuswap marine search & rescue boathouse anchors in Sicamous at grand opening

On May 24, 2025, the Shuswap Station 106 of the Canadian Marine Search and Rescue officially opened its new boathouse in Sicamous.
This event followed years of planning and was partly driven by the need to improve emergency responses amid projects like the Bruhn Bridge development.
The ceremony included speeches from local leaders, tours, a barbecue, recognition of volunteers, and highlighted the boathouse’s role in enhancing regional rescue capabilities.
Bruce Weicker said, "Yeah, a boathouse is great, but we're more than just a boathouse, we're a rescue centre," emphasizing faster winter response times without clearing snow and ice.
This facility will strengthen service across the Shuswap, supporting volunteers who save lives on water and marking a significant community milestone as the only freshwater inland RCMSAR station.
