A few nice days and boating season approaches, the HMB Branch of the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue wants to promote distress call methods. To report a marine emergency, use channel 16 on marine VHF radio, or #727 (#SAR), or #16 by mobile phone, or 1-800-567-5111 toll free (Joint Rescue Coordination Centre) by phone.
