Every year more and more people flood in to Chilliwack’s backcountry to enjoy the incredible outdoor recreation opportunities this area has to offer. As a result, the demands on CSAR’s unpaid volunteers increases every year.

For the past 15 years, CSAR members have been saving funds to put towards a new facility by donating expenses back to the team, saving public donations and minimizing expenditure. Whilst we’re proud of our efforts, we’re still a long way short.

With 121 call outs in 2021, 45 members and 14 vehicles – our current facility is ageing and too small to accommodate the training and equipment needs of the 2nd busiest SAR group in BC.
