🚨 Support Saving Lives in the Rockies! 🚨

Cochrane Search and Rescue (CSAR) — a registered charitable organization since 2001 — is dedicated to keeping our communities safe across the stunning yet challenging landscapes of  MD Bighorn and Rocky View County, serving communities like Cochrane, Kananaskis, Bragg Creek, Waiparous, Canmore, and Banff.

Each year, our 75 dedicated volunteers contribute over 11,000 volunteer hours and respond to 25+ emergencies, putting themselves in situations to assist those in need. With an average annual operating cost of $45,000, CSAR relies entirely on fundraising and community support to stay mission-ready.

Our team specializes in search and rescue across rugged terrain — steep grades, dense forests, rivers, and remote mountain passes — demanding reliable vehicles and specialized equipment. However, our  Mobile Command Centre, the heart of our coordination and communications in the field, has been decommissioned due to safety concerns.

🌟 2026 Fundraising Goal: Replace Our Mobile Command Centre 🌟
This essential vehicle enables CSAR to manage complex, multi-agency rescue and disaster response operations. Replacing it is vital to maintaining rapid, effective, and safe operations for both rescuers and those in distress.

Together, we can build a safer, more prepared community.
Your support today helps us save lives tomorrow.
