The British Columbia Search and Rescue Association (BCSARA) is pleased to announce that in cooperation with the Justice Institute of British Columbia (JIBC) a ‘Introduction to Search and Rescue in British Columbia Course’ will be available on-line to all SAR volunteers and agency staff without fee effective April 01, 2013. A link to the course will be communicated at that time.

This course assists in addressing one of the challenges identified through the Leveling the Playing Field regional workshops, specifically the need for information on the overall SAR delivery model and support structure in the Province. The course can also be used to provide an overview for new Ground Search and Rescue (GSAR) and agency members.
We would like to acknowledge the financial support of the Government of Canada for this project through the Search and Rescue New Initiatives Fund (SAR NIF), and the assistance of the National Search and Rescue Secretariat.
