To mark 70 years volunteering, Central Okanagan Search and Rescue is hosting a party on Oct. 5. 

The volunteer organization dates back to 1954 when a group mobilized to search for a little girl who went missing during a family camping trip. 

A successful search for the girl displayed the need for a search organization and Central Okanagan Search and Rescue was born.
