Nassau, Bahamas
It is with immense pleasure that the IAMSAR Solutions team has deployed to the Bahamas to deliver a series of Search and Rescue (SAR) courses to the Royal Bahamas Defence Force (RBDF).
Our CEO, Mr. Jean Houde, and Chief Training Officer, Mr. Robert Landriault, received an extraordinary welcome from the RBDF and its officers. From Canadian flags proudly displayed throughout the venue to a live brass band performing Canada’s national anthem, the opening ceremonies were truly spectacular and will remain a lasting memory for our team.
This genuine and heartfelt reception reflects the RBDF’s unwavering commitment to strengthening its Search and Rescue capabilities. We extend our sincere appreciation to LComdr Livingston Brown, along with all those who have contributed over the past four years to maintain the momentum that made this pivotal milestone possible.
Search and Rescue—and the effective management of a Rescue Coordination Centre—is a critical responsibility that demands the highest levels of professionalism, dedication, and expertise. By investing in one of the most comprehensive and advanced SAR training programs available, the RBDF continues to elevate its standing among organizations embracing international SAR best practices through rigorous academic instruction and practical operational experience.
At IAMSAR Solutions, we are honored to play an integral role in this important transformation and look forward to supporting the RBDF as it continues to strengthen its Search and Rescue excellence.
Best regards,
Jean Houde
CEO
Chief Standards Officer
