For families desperate to find missing loved ones, Manitoba Search and Rescue (MSAR) helps co-ordinate and carry out searches across the province.
"We will provide assistance to anyone," said George Leonard, operations manager for the non-profit group.
He started the organization himself about seven years ago. The group has since grown to include 238 members, featuring people with backgrounds as wilderness guides, RCMP officers, paramedics and firefighters, among others.
Last year, MSAR carried out 103 searches in Manitoba, said Leonard.
When family or friends of a missing person contact the group, a variety of steps are taken to organize a search.
