Search and Rescue Dog Association of Alberta (SARDAA) is a Registered Charity group of highly trained volunteers and their dogs who offer their services to authorized tasking agencies (policing agencies, fire departments, municipalities, provincial emergency management). We have dogs trained to locate both missing persons and human remains in urban and wilderness environments as well as inside buildings and from our boats on rivers and lakes.

Please understand that SARDAA is unable to respond to requests for assistance from members of the general public, including the family, friends and associates of missing persons.

SARVAC is pleased to announce that Public Safety Canada has approved funding for the SARVAC Humanitarian Workforce (HWF) Program Extension – 2026–2027 (Phase 4), providing up to $2.61 million over the next eight months.

This funding will help rebuild and strengthen SARVAC's Humanitarian Workforce capacity while laying the foundation for a Type 3 Wildfire Support Capability to better support emergency response across Canada.

🦺 As we restart the HWF Program, we look forward to focusing on rebuilding our team and advancing key initiatives that strengthen Ground Search and Rescue capacity nationwide.
Thank you to Public Safety Canada for its continued support. We look forward to sharing more updates as this important work moves forward.

Together, we're building a stronger future for Ground Search and Rescue in Canada.🇨🇦

L’ACVRS est heureuse d’annoncer que Sécurité publique Canada a approuvé le financement pour la prolongation du Programme de main-d’œuvre humanitaire (MOH) de l’ACVRS pour 2026–2027 (phase 4), qui prévoit jusqu’à 2,61 millions de dollars au cours des huit prochains mois.

Ce financement contribuera à reconstruire et à renforcer la capacité de l’ACVRS en matière de main-d’œuvre humanitaire, tout en jetant les bases d’une capacité de soutien aux feux de forêt de type 3 afin de mieux appuyer les interventions d’urgence partout au Canada.

🦺 Alors que nous relançons le Programme MOH, nous sommes heureux de nous concentrer sur la reconstruction de notre équipe et sur la mise en œuvre d’initiatives clés visant à renforcer les capacités de recherche et sauvetage au sol à l’échelle nationale.

Nous remercions Sécurité publique Canada pour son soutien continu. Nous avons hâte de vous communiquer d’autres nouvelles au fur et à mesure de l’avancement de cet important travail.

Ensemble, nous bâtissons un avenir plus solide pour la recherche et le sauvetage au sol au Canada.🇨🇦
