“a life was saved today…”

On December 8, 2025, at 2:43 p.m. local time, the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC) Victoria was alerted to a person overboard. One of our members had fallen from a Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat (RHIB) approximately 0.5 nautical miles east of Bentinck Island, near Albert Head, British Columbia. At the time, the RHIB was returning from conducting sentry duties off the Bentinck Island range.

In response, JRCC tasked multiple search and rescue assets, including a CH-148 Cyclone helicopter, a CH-149 Cormorant helicopter, a CC-295 Kingfisher aircraft, a United States Coast Guard MH-65 Dolphin helicopter, multiple Canadian Coast Guard vessels, our Orca-class patrol vessels, and His Majesty’s Canadian Ship Regina. Despite challenging conditions—high winds, large swells, and darkness—the member was located at 5:00 p.m. local time by a Royal Canadian Air Force CH-148 Cyclone, signaling for help as rescuers approached. He was subsequently recovered by the Pacific Pilotage Authority vessel Pacific Guardian and transferred to local Emergency Health Services.

Thanks to the swift coordination and unwavering professionalism of all agencies involved, a life was saved today. This incident serves as a powerful reminder of the dedication and readiness of our search and rescue partners, and of the strength we demonstrate when we respond together. We are profoundly grateful for the tireless efforts of everyone who took part in this operation. On behalf of the Royal Canadian Navy, Maritime Forces Pacific and Joint Task Force Pacific, we extend our sincere appreciation to all who helped bring our member home safely.

We put the HELP in .
