Two local organizations who are dedicated towards public safety on the North Coast have been in the spotlight this week as part of National Volunteer Week in Canada.

The work of those who take to the ocean in some of the worst conditions to offer assistance or rescue for those in trouble is being saluted this week, with members of the Local Station 64 of the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue among those hailed locally.

The praise for their work locally comes as National Volunteer Appreciation Week wraps up, with the Prince Rupert Port Authority taking the lead in celebrating their dedication to the North Coast.

You can find out more about the local station from their Facebook page here.

Another local organization that relies on volunteers towards public safety is the District of Port Edward Fire Department, as part of their participation in National Volunteer week, the PEVFR Department has been providing some profiles of its members. 

You can review those notes from their Facebook feed here.
