A helicopter aids a search on Blow Me Down Mountain in the Bay of Islands. In the past five years, BOISAR says, more than one-quarter of distress calls have come from the Lark Harbour-York Harbour area.(Bay of Islands Volunteer Search and Rescue)
Garry MacKenzie headed to Lark Harbour as soon as he heard the news. I was that excited I drove down to see what area was covered by cell service, said MacKenzie, a member of Bay of Islands Volunteer Search and Rescue, also known as BOISAR. We feel great about it. It s going to be a big benefit to us.
