    Hi Bob,

    Thanks for reaching out. Both Zoleo and InReach devices have worked well for people in our area. There is in fact SOME cell service on Pitt lake and Alouette Lake in certain areas.

    For Pitt Lake, the community of people that stay up there use Channel 66 on Marine VHF radio to communicate. You could also use the emergency Channel 16. This could be a more immediate form of help until Search and Rescue can arrive.

    For Stave Lake, Reach out to Mission SAR for advice in that area as it is their area of response.

    Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any other questions!
