Cape Breton Search and Rescue says specialized training will help them find people who might not respond to searcher calls.
The group of volunteers gathered in Sydney, N.S., last week on the anniversary of the disappearance of seven-year-old James Delorey.
The boy, who had autism, wandered away from his South Bar home on Dec. 5, 2009. Delorey was found two days after he went missing, huddled in thick brush about a kilometre from his home. He died the following day in hospital after suffering from severe hypothermia.
