Halifax Search and Rescue (HSAR) is a 100% non-profit volunteer organization and registered charity with over 150 active members dedicated to responding to lost person incidents and civil emergencies in the greater Halifax area and throughout Nova Scotia. Their team covers vast terrains, including parks, forests, shorelines, and urban areas, to locate and rescue individuals such as hikers, hunters, children, and senior citizens.
HSAR offers interactive courses like map and compass training, GPS navigation, and the Hug a Tree program to educate the community on wilderness survival and safety. While receiving limited grants, the organization heavily relies on fundraising to maintain specialized equipment, vehicles, and training needed to carry out their life-saving missions year-round.
