In addition to finding and rescuing people, Search and Rescue volunteers spend many hours a year presenting to the public on how not to get lost, and if lost, how to survive until help arrives. From our experience, most incidents could have been prevented or their effect reduced by a little preparation. SAR volunteers are available to speak to schools, scouts, guides, hiking and other interested groups about wilderness safety.
The South Fraser SAR team offers the popular Hug-A-Tree program to younger children and can be scheduled upon request.
