The Victoria-based technology company has been supporting the search and rescue non-profit since 2021.

VICTORIA, BC, CANADA, May 24, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Victoria Marine Rescue (VMR) and Royal Canadian Marine Search & Rescue (RCM-SAR) Station 35 gave SSI co-CEOs Denis Morais and Darren Larkins a first-hand demonstration of what the rescue crew’s training routine consists of. The technology company executives wanted to experience the day-to-day realities of VMR and raise awareness of the available volunteer opportunities.

VMR is the organization behind RCM-SAR Station 35, Victoria’s local search and rescue station based at Ogden Point. In 2021, SSI pledged $100,000 over five years to the non-profit society to help the organization establish a new home near Ogden Point, explore the feasibility of building an all-electric rescue vessel, train more people to be available for rescue, and increase the number of back-office volunteers.

“Finding something local in Victoria, when so much of what we do is international, is a great way to give back to the Victoria marine community,” said Darren Larkins, co-CEO at SSI. “I can’t see a better organization to be involved with when what VMR and Station 35 do can have such a direct impact on someone’s life.”

“The ability to depend on SSI really helps us,” said Earle Shirley of RCM-SAR Station 35. "SSI’s support gives us, a volunteer-run organization, a steady source of income that we can use to plan better and serve the community more effectively.
