Great shot of the OCEAP Operations Group who run this organization behind the scenes! Another successful training day.

DYK When there is an OCEAP Call Out for Search and Rescue you will rarely see any social media or other posts by the Team. During Search and Rescue operations, the Team works under the direction of the police with jurisdiction. It is their call on what is reported. Due to the nature of the call, it may not be appropriate to publicize details about the operation. Even when you don’t hear about us, we are still there 7/24/365 for our community and emergency services partners.

YES! We are actively recruiting for new volunteers to join our Spring class. Contact us today at [email protected] to receive our new recruit information package to see if you qualify.

Let's all support this great event!

Happy New Year! As we kick off 2020, OCEAP is looking for new members to join our April 25th new recruit training day. Would you like to be a member of OCEAP? Send us a quick email at [email protected] and we will send you an overview of our Team and the membership requirements. We would love to have a full class in April - and we hope that you will be part of it!

Port Hope Fire held their annual emergency exercise on Wednesday, July 31st - OCEAP was in attendance in support of our Community Partner. We love these scenario based exercises and we are always willing to help in any way that we can.

Happy Canada Day! OCEAP volunteers were in Port Hope today assisting with the parade and great events at Memorial Park. What a beautiful summer day,
