Comox Valley Search & Rescue is powered entirely by volunteers. Our members give their time, energy, and skills to help people in need and make the outdoors safer for everyone.

Being a SAR volunteer involves more than responding to callouts. It includes regular training, teamwork, community education, and a commitment to operating safely in demanding conditions.
