Happy New Year! We hope you have a safe and prosperous 2023; As always, if you have a search and rescue emergency, always call 9-1-1 first. Most people may not know, but we are activated by a tasking agency such as the RCMP, to aid as needed. Enjoy the rest of the holiday season!

Fantastic night meeting with members from the Search and Rescue Dog Association of Canada - SARDAC. Having highly trained canine assistance on a search increases the probability of a subject being located quickly. Great to meet you all and hope to work with you soon!

This Sunday Cochrane Search and Rescue will be running an Urban Mock Search starting at 14:30. People can expect to see our members in their red jackets on trails throughout Cochrane from 15:00 onwards, please feel free to say hello!
