North Shore Search and Rescue has been approved for a pilot project using a night-vision imaging system to allow for extended searches in low light and night conditions.

Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth says the project is the first of its kind in Canada for a volunteer search group.

The group will use helicopter night-vision goggles, helping with aerial searches and transportation in low-light or night-time operations.

Up until now, the technology has been restricted to official organizations such as police or military.
