Zone 1: Moncton

Contact Our Zone: moncton-ops@casara.ca

We train so we are ready to support the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) in actual searches for missing aircraft or persons or their training exercises. A real highlight for many is their first flight on a military aircraft.

That’s the job. That’s why we’re here. CASARA’s motto is:


"That Others May Live"
