The Mission Search and Rescue Team is a registered non-profit society dedicated to assisting in the recovery of lost or injured persons within the District of Mission, and the area to the north and east of Mission known as the electoral area of the Fraser Valley Regional District. We are a team of dedicated people that work together to help those lost or injured individuals in the Mission area. We operate in all types of weather and conditions and assist other Search & Rescue organizations in the Fraser Valley of southwestern B.C..Through their work, they recognized a need for a team of individuals who could be available to go off the beaten path to search and or rescue those who needed it in mountain areas as well as on lakes and rivers. In the April, 2006, we will be running a Ground Search and Rescue class. We hope to add 8 to 10 members to our team bringing the total to about 25. The number of searches we do has increased, and will continue to do so as the public ventures further into our parks and mountainous areas.
