About

Our Mission

Each year Search and Rescue groups in BC respond over 1600 incidents involving over 2100 lost or injured persons. The 2500 unpaid professional volunteers, located in more than 80 BC communities are available day or night. Together these men and women donate over 100,000 hours of their time on callouts annually, and an astounding 95% subjects were found or rescued within the first 24 hours of a volunteer SAR group being activated.
