What We Do

Rocky Search and Rescue (SAR) utilizes a range of resources and skills to achieve our mission, whether we’re on a search mission, volunteering at community events, or teaching outdoor survival to schoolchildren. Our members are highly skilled and trained, equipped with the necessary resources to handle their tasks effectively.

Public Events As a 100% volunteer organization, Rocky SAR depends on donations and fundraising events. We offer trained members in First Aid and Advanced Wilderness First Aid to assist with your events. 

Ground Search & Rescue Our dedicated ground search teams are essential to our operations. They undergo a 40-hour training program covering search and rescue fundamentals, equipment essentials, map and compass skills, and other key areas.

Support Personnel These members, who may not yet have completed the Fundamentals program, assist at the Command Post and in various support roles such as call-out personnel, radio operators, scribes, and runabouts.

Preventative Search & Rescue (PSAR) Our PSAR team engages in community education programs like Adventure Smart, which teaches children essential survival skills if they get lost. We actively participate in community events, distribute information, and visit campgrounds with safety tips and organizational details.

Tasking Agencies Rocky SAR operates under the jurisdiction of the RCMP, who task us during emergencies.

In case of an emergency, please call 9-1-1.
