The Parkland Search & Rescue Society (Parkland SAR) is an Alberta
based non-profit, charitable organization that provides trained search
volunteers to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and other tasking
agencies that request our assistance. Though based in the County of
Parkland, Parkland SAR is utilized throughout north central Alberta
in cooperation with other Search & Rescue Association of Alberta
member groups.
In addition to training to bring lost & injured persons home society
members also assist law enforcement agencies with evidence searches
and are available to assist their communities during natural disasters
and other civil emergencies.
If someone is lost, injured, and frightened Parkland SAR is available
24 hours a day to help find and bring them home. Our members are trained
in ground search techniques, standard first aid, tracking techniques,
basic rescue, and civil emergency response. We also provide preventative
search and rescue education for children through the RCMP’s “Hug-a-Tree”
program and NOVA’s “Lost In The Woods” program.
Our goal is simple:
“To train and be search-ready for those in need.”
