Twenty-two search and rescue technicians are taking part in advanced search and rescue techniques training on Georgian Bay by Owen Sound.
A media release from the city of Owen Sound said participants from the Canadian Coast Guard, Chippewas of Nawash Fire Department, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and Owen Sound Fire and Emergency Services are completing exercises.
