It’s All About Volunteers.

The strength of ASAR relies totally on the commitment of its volunteers.

Weekday Responders Needed

Arrowsmith Search and Rescue is currently seeking new members who are available to respond to calls Monday to Friday during daytime hours.

This selective intake is designed for people with flexible weekday schedules.

Become a Ground Search & Rescue (GSAR) Member

Search and Rescue can be a rewarding endeavour, but it demands both commitment and training. You will learn Outdoor skills, first aid, team work, and have the opportunity to see and do things that most people never get to! An eagerness to learn is important. Applicants to the team should be prepared to participate in training, search and rescue operations, and other team activities.

Training Program

The GSAR training program runs mid-September to mid-December.
Participants must be available for two 6-hour sessions and one 4-hour session each week during this period.
Applicants should also note that ASAR has regular training and callouts outside of weekday hours. As a GSAR member, you will be required to attend at least 50 hours of training annually, which currently includes:
- One Tuesday evening (19:00–21:00) each month
- One Sunday morning (09:00–13:00) each month

Note: Applications are open to individuals who can meet the above requirements. Applicants without weekday daytime availability will not be considered at this time.
