Matt Sager is the founder and leader of a team of car hunters who are on a mission to recover rare vehicles hidden in remote areas where they remain undiscovered by others. Along with his team of passionate car hunters, Matt and his team use classic equipment to travel by air and land, including a 1948 Stinson airplane and 1948 Power Wagon Tow Truck, to spot clues from the sky and follow leads to track down old forgotten vehicles. 

 Once they find a vehicle they want to rescue, the team buys the vehicle, and then extracts and recovers it by any means necessary. 

Each member of the team plays a crucial role in this operation. Jessica James, the team pilot, is responsible for safely navigating the team through remote areas. Dave Mischuk, brings decades of knowledge about vehicle autobody repairs and experience in restoration. Lee Brandt, the crane operator, is responsible for lifting the vehicles out of difficult areas. Steve Sager, the team's fixer, uses his mechanical expertise to repair and maintain the team's equipment. 

 Together, they journey through remote areas and meet the people who have lived there for generations in an impossible quest to find and rescue lost cars. 

 Matt Sager grew up in Mill Bay BC (Van Island) and considers the Peace area a second home in, which gives him extensive knowledge of the area. The second season of "Lost Car Rescue" premieres on April 19, 2023, on the History Channel. 

 Through their exciting and daring adventures, Matt Sager and his team of car hunters showcase their passion for recovering classic vehicles and preserving automotive history for future generations to enjoy.

Citizens Take Action. Dawson Creek, B.C. Website: https://www.dccitizenstakeaction.com/

Welcome to this week's episode of "Community Watch", where we discuss various community watch groups and their efforts to make their neighborhoods safer. Today, we're focusing on a newly created community watch group based in Dawson Creek, called Citizens Take Action.

This group was created out of a need and desire for a community watch group in Dawson Creek and has since expanded and grown in British Columbia, including Fort St. John. Their mission is to restore peace of mind to the community by helping to reduce crime and holding the RCMP and local governments accountable. Their goal statement is to foster a safe and secure community that everyone can be proud of.

We had the opportunity to speak with members of Citizens Take Action and discuss a wide range of topics. We talked about the local and provincial crime, the positive and negative response to the group from the public, government, and businesses, the group's growth, their core values, and more.

One of the most interesting aspects of our conversation was the group's approach to reducing crime in the community. Instead of relying solely on law enforcement, they have taken a proactive approach by working with businesses and community members to identify potential safety hazards and address them before they become a problem.

We also discussed the challenges the group has faced in its growth and expansion. While they have received overwhelming support from the community, they have also faced criticism from some who feel their efforts are unnecessary or misguided. We talked about how they have responded to this criticism and the steps they are taking to continue to build trust with the community.

Finally, we discussed the core values of Citizens Take Action and how these values guide their work. These values include respect, accountability, and community involvement. We talked about how these values have helped to shape the group's approach to community safety and their interactions with law enforcement and local government.

Overall, our conversation with members of Citizens Take Action provided valuable insights into the challenges and rewards of creating a community watch group. Their efforts to make their community safer and more secure are an inspiration to us all. We hope you enjoyed this episode of "Community Watch" and look forward to sharing more stories of community activism in the future.
