It takes a dedicated team of individuals to keep Toronto Search and Rescue–Marine mission-ready. Our organization runs on the commitment, skill, and passion of volunteers who believe deeply in the importance of saving lives and supporting our waterfront communities.

Our Leadership Team is responsible for overseeing daily unit operations, crew coordination, and ensuring our teams are trained, equipped, and ready to respond. Working alongside them, our Board of Directors provides the strategic vision that guides our growth, builds community partnerships, and ensures long-term sustainability.

Together, this collective of volunteers brings Toronto Search and Rescue–Marine to life—on the water and behind the scenes.
