To provide search & rescue services in the North Kootenay Lake region.
This week's training focused on tracking, as the team successfully worked through several scenarios. Our search dog showed us just how effective her nose is, as she impressed us all with her tracking and airscenting skills. We looking forward to building on this training next week – what will we get up to?

The team is doing our annual hover exit training up near the airport today – don't be alarmed if you hear a bit more helicopter traffic than usual! 😎
This week's team training saw members combining search (dog), vehicle extrication, rope rescue, medical and leadership/management skills to complete a vehicle over the embankment scenario with two patients. One patient was successfully extricated from the vehicle and brought up the embankment and a second patient was quickly found nearby by our search dog, Kibou. Excellent teamwork!
As we move into Spring, we are reflecting on all of the awesome training that took place over the winter. The team has already put in Thousands of hours of training in 2026, covering a wide range of skills, including GSAR, Canine, Rope Rescue, Vehicle Extrication, Medical, Ice Rescue, Avalanche Rescue, Mountain Rescue, Swiftwater and Flatwater Rescue, Drone and multi team training days.
