Emergency Search and Rescue Service

HARP Marine Unit is really just an extension of our commitment to serving the Halton Community.  Just an another venue that HARP initiated last year by being out on our local waters during most of the boating season.  Our unit is equipped with all the sophisticated communication and standard emergency equipment to aid most boaters that may have a water emergency.  Get to know us around the Harbours, come up and introduce yourself.  We may be in the right place and the right time to give you a helping hand.
