THE FUTURE

Every year, The Auxiliary is being asked to do more: more taskings, longer taskings and more involvement in prevention and safe boating activities. The Auxiliary is undergoing a period of change and growth. Much of our efforts are directed at managing this growth.

Between 1993 and 1999, the CCGA capital spending on rescue equipment exceeded $2 million. With the growing importance of safe boating education programs, the importance of private funding continues to increase.

The organization has reached a point where an expansion and diversification of funding resources is required to meet current and future needs and to enable the volunteers to go to the rescue with confidence and with the best training and equipment available. More funding is required in order to expand SAR activities, to serve additional high incident areas and to do more safe boating activities.
