Description & Services

Service Details Since 1954 Central Okanagan Search and Rescue has been providing Kelowna and the surrounding area with a team of highly trained volunteers committed to helping those that need assistance in both the backcountry and urban environments. 
 
The team consists of approximately 50 dedicated volunteers from all walks of life who are on call 24/7, 365 days a year. Averaging over 50 call outs per year, team members gladly give up family dinners, Christmas mornings, and a good nights sleep so that others may live.
