CASARA (Civil Air Search and Rescue ) Memorial
A monument to honour Civil Air Search and Rescue Association volunteers and Military aircrew who lost their lives since the formation of CASARA in 1986, was unveiled in May 1997, at Heritage Park, Winnipeg, Manitoba during the “Manitoba Flood of the Century”. The site is located across the road from the military air force building known as 1 Canadian Air Division Headquarters (Air Com). A bronze plaque on the monument lists the names of the CASARA spotters and military aircrew who lost their lives in June 1986 during the crash of a military SAR Twin Otter while on search in the Kananaskis Valley area. It also lists the names of those killed in a CASARA aircraft that crashed while on search 10 years later in July 1996. The guest of honour for the unveiling was the Honourable Yvonne Dumont, then Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba.
