Kamloops Search and Rescue hope to find new members
KAMLOOPS — Kamloops Search and Rescue provide a necessary service to our community, sometimes risking life and limb to help those who find themselves caught out in the mother nature unprepared. Like many volunteer organizations, KSAR is in need of new members to ensure they’re able to fill the needs of the community. In this case, responding to any rescue scenario they’re called into.
On Saturday, a team of Kamloops Search and Rescue members took to the hills below Thompson Rivers University to do some training.
“Often, we’ll go out and do training exercises in locations where we get called out,” KSAR Search Manager Alan Hobler explained. “We had about 12 members show up, which is okay. [Our] numbers are getting a little low.”
That’s nothing new for KSAR. Hobler says it seems his organization is in a perpetual state of recruitment.
