Archivist's note
Provincial context piece confirming JDF SAR sent members to a specialized inter-team tracking course alongside 12 other B.C. teams; does not document a JDF SAR-specific incident, so no incident_ref is assigned. Useful evidence of provincial mutual-aid and skills-sharing networks beyond the team's usual local partners.
