RCMSAR 31 is the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue Station in Brentwood Bay, BC. It has been run by a group of dedicated volunteers since 2011 and provides services to the whole boating community in and around the Saanich Inlet and beyond to the Gulf Islands. A rescue boat has been based in Brentwood Bay since the early 1980’s.  Station 31 serves the Saanich Inlet from Goldstream out to Satellite Channel / Samsun Narrows and environs.
