Kent-Harrison Search and Rescue (KHSAR) has a new online home.
At the beginning of the month, KHSAR launched their website – KHSAR.ca.
The page greets users with a brief overhead video of the KHSAR volunteers and some of the equipment at their disposal and a call to action to join their rescue efforts.

The “Our Capabilities” page runs through what the organization is all about and the versatile training regiments the 25 members have completed and continue to practice, including swift water rescue, ground search and rescue and rope rescue.
The page also includes helpful links to both the District of Kent and Harrison Hot Springs’ websites, B.C. Search and Rescue and the government of Canada’s AdventureSmart.
