NORTHERN BC- The BC Search and Rescue Association is receiving $1 million donation from Rogers through a multi-year partnership.

The funds will be used to provide immediate and long-term support to conduct critical search and rescue services across the province. The funding will provide new technology and specialized equipment for the 79 local teams and 3,000 BCSARA volunteers.

“We are incredibly grateful to Rogers for providing this $1 million donation to provide immediate assistance to help BC residents now and throughout this multi-year partnership,” said Chris Mushumanski, President, BC Search and Rescue Association.
