In Memoriam: It is with considerable regret that the Roberts Bank Lifeboat Delta Station Society recognizes the passing of member George Hawksworth.
The on going pilot project with Delta Police is mentioned in their 2009 annual report.
As a result of a pilot project, the society voted to explore the possibility of offering the present vessel for sale on the international market.
