Different Region, Different Rescue: How SAR Response Varies Across BC SAR in BC looks different depending on where you are. From coastal terrain to remote northern wilderness, each region presents unique challenges that shape how SAR teams respond. bcsara.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

🍂The crisp air, and colorful leaves make Fall an ideal time to go explore some beautiful Nova Scotian trails! However, it also means that the weather can change quickly and the sun sets early. Here are some must-haves to ensure you don't get caught unprepared..

Meet volunteers Sandy and Brian at the @NorthPeaceSAR hall. The facility has enabled them to more rapidly respond to incidents, saving time and lives. Thanks to all of our SAR volunteers in the BC Peace that do what you do for our community!

SAR members in BC are volunteers, however we train to professional standards. We perform a vital service, often during difficult conditions and not without certain risks. We should feel good about what we do! Pat yourself and your teammates on the back #CISMSaturday #BCSAR #CISM

☀️ Labour Day weekend alert! ⛑️ There is no charge to call GSAR, but always call 911—no direct GSAR number. Rescue is 24/7: Aug 31 - Sep 2. Remember the 3Ts: Trip Planning, Training, Take Essentials. Stay safe and enjoy! #AdventureSmart

North Peace Search & Rescue was on the move yesterday to our new building! Out with the old and in with the new!! A huge thank you to the City of Fort St. John for supporting our team. Without this wonderful city's support, this would not have been possible. Thank you!

Happy Father's Day! NPSAR was tasked out by RCMP today for a missing person from Charlie Lake. We were stood down with a successful result. This was our first task out of our new hall!

We've acquired a 10,000-square-foot property located at 10904 100 Avenue, formerly known as Wolverine Motors, to serve as a dedicated emergency services building. This strategic move marks a significant milestone in bolstering our community's response capabilities.
