Chilliwack Search and Rescue
Share
Chilliwack Search & Rescue is called upon 90 to 100 times a year to help those in need who by misfortune, lack of experience or poor judgment find themselves in trouble.
Winter isn’t wintering much here this year ;)
With minimal low-elevation snow in our area to access for an evening training session, the team got creative.
We headed over to to practice various snow anchors and rope skills on their wood chip & sawdust piles for both our SAR calls and personal adventures.
Larger wood chip piles worked to simulate avalanche burials and enabled us to do transceiver searches, probing, and shovelling techniques.
“Snowy mountains” were rappelled and “icy cliffs” were ascended all within a few minutes of home!
Big appreciation to Denbow for supporting our team’s creativity.
It only comes around once every two years.
It’s only open for a short time.
It’s your chance.
Recruitment opens in early 2026 for joining Chilliwack Search And Rescue.
More information will be released in the coming weeks. Stay tuned.
