From the Aurora News: January 29, a 14 Wing Greenwood search and rescue crew responded to a call involving two hikers and a dog stranded at Cape Split. Tasked by Joint Rescue Coordination Centre Halifax after a request from Nova Scotia RCMP, 413 (Transport and Rescue) Squadron’s CH149 Cormorant Rescue 912 was dispatched when local responders were unable to reach the hikers due to icy conditions, rising tides and challenging terrain. Despite difficult nighttime conditions, the crew successfully recovered both hikers and their dog, transferring them safely to Emergency Health Services. The rescue highlights the teamwork of 413 Squadron, Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Nova Scotia and local volunteer fire departments.
