Kamloops Search and Rescue

Kamloops Search and Rescue Annual General Meeting May 6, 2024

Agenda

Kamloops Search and Rescue volunteer members are all ages and from all walks of life. They share a common interest in providing important life-saving services 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. All team members are skilled in ground searches and are trained in the use of snowmobiles and UTVs. Interested individuals can also receive further training in rope, swift water, ice rescue, and other specialized disciplines. Strong community support, at many levels, allows us to provide this essential service.

KSAR is called out by the Emergency Coordination Center (ECC) to assist the RCMP, BC Emergency Health Services, and BC Coroners Office as well as providing alerts and evacuation assistance during events such as wildfires or floods for civic and municipal governments.

It's an exciting weekend of wildland rope rescue coming up with Wells Gray Search and Rescue in Clearwater once again hosting their biannual Southern Interior Rope Exercise, SIRE, on April 27 and 28.

Teams from Kamloops SAR, Shuswap SAR, Vernon SAR, and many more from around BC will converge on Clearwater for a weekend of practicing their rope rescue skills and to learn new ones along the way.

It's a great opportunity as well to forge new relationships and create friendships with the many other teams that we support and who support us in turn.

Residents in Clearwater can expect to see a lot of SAR jackets walking around town over the next few days!
