Ridge Meadows Search & Rescue manager Rick Laing showed off the $107,000 new 23-foot aluminum search boat his team bought in October. While a majority, $93,000 of the purchase price, came from gaming, the rest of the funds came from the sale of their old boat. This craft comes complete with a covered area for the crew and a landing-craft style front giving members easier access to shorelines along waterways such as Pitt and Alouette Lakes.
