On September 30th, GADSAR was tasked by the RCMP to respond to a group of overdue boaters on Kinbasket Lake. The group had been fishing in the Bush Harbour area and had mechanical trouble causing them to have to spend the night on the boat. GADSAR responded at first light via helicopter and located the group but were unable to land near the boat due to high water and dense bush. GADSAR utilized a tug boat in the area to access the site and transport the subjects back to land. This marks the first tug boat response in GADSARS lengthy history.
