| AVALANCHE RESCUE TEAM |
 |
Nelson Search and Rescue is a non-profit, volunteer organization that is registered with the British Columbia Provincial Emergency Program. At the request of PEP, the RCMP or another authorized party, we respond to provide assistance with Ground Search and Rescue (GSAR) operations. We are strong supporters of "mutual aid" and frequently assist (and request assistance from) other search and rescue groups within our region.
Our organization is comprised of many volunteers who dedicate significant time to build the knowledge and skills necessary to enable them to serve as effective SAR members. We have team members trained for basic ground search and rescue, first aid, rope rescue, swiftwater rescue, organized avalanche response, team leaders, search and rescue management, and more. The education and training of our members provides us with the skilled personnel needed for rescue operations and is a key focus of Nelson Search and Rescue.
The NSAR directors usually meet on the last Wednesday of each month. Training is usually the first Wednesday of each month.
