Calgary Search and RescueCALSARA has a team of 100 dedicated volunteers who commit time to training, meetings, administration and equipment upkeep to ensure our organization is ready to be deployed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Calgary Search and Rescue must be activated by a Government agency in order to deploy. We work with agencies such as:

The Calgary Police Service
