KAMLOOPS, B.C. — Kamloops Search and Rescue is on the hunt for new members.
According to Search Manager Alan Hobler, KSAR is looking to recruit approximately 15 new volunteers in the next few weeks, with applications open to all fitness levels.
“We’re looking for average people that are fit enough to be able to hike with a 20-pound pack for a couple of hours,” said Hobler. “The main thing we’re looking for is people who can commit an average 200 hours a year to the job.”
Chosen applicants must undergo a three-week training course where they learn everything from wilderness survival, map and compass skills, and various search techniques before officially becoming a KSAR member.
