Mission Search & Rescue (MSAR) is a registered non-profit organization in the province of British Columbia. Its primary function is that of a community resource to assist the RCMP, the BC Ambulance Service and the BC Coroners Service in a variety of search and rescue functions. We currently have over 20 members, and growing larger in numbers every year. We are a strong team of volunteer professionals. All funds for new equipment and training is acquired by fundraising projects, plus the support of local service groups, government funding programs, and by the generous support of members of the general public.

Last night, our group of our trainers and the new MSAR applicants spent the night camping at Rolley Lake as an atmospheric river moved across the sky above them.

During the evening, applicants participate in our selection process that includes working in small groups to problem solve in various SAR skills stations and to complete other assigned tasks placed before them.

The night is set up to be fun evening, but it is also very challenging. The heavy rain just took it to another level! 🙂

Successful applicants will be selected to start the GSAR training program and will be Members in Training (MITs)

Thursday night is training night for MSAR

With the change of seasons, the cold weather is fast approaching and our MSAR Crews were out training last night at Devil's Lake to refresh our cold weather skills and hypothermia treatment options.

Skills included creating shelters, basic fire building techniques and how to wrap hypothermic patients to protect them from cold.

If you plan on being out in the woods, please make sure you let someone know where you are going and when you will be back. At this time of year, darkness sets in early in the forrest and orientation can be quickly lost in low visibility. Make sure you are prepared and if you are lost, stay in place.

If You’re Lost, Stop Moving

One of the most important things you can do if you become lost in the wilderness is simple: stop moving.

Searching for a moving person is much harder than searching for someone who stays in one location. If you are able to call 911 or activate a satellite SOS, rescuers will initially respond to the location provided by that call or device.

If you continue hiking after asking for help, you may move miles away from the location we are searching. That can significantly increase the time it takes for rescuers to find you—and delay getting you the help you need.

Once you’ve called for help, unless you are in immediate danger where you are, stay put. Find a safe location, conserve your phone battery, make yourself visible, and wait for rescuers.

Lost? Call for help. Then stop moving. Let us come to you.
