About Us

Get to know your Valley Search and Rescue Team

Our team was formed in 1971 by David Walsh and Michael Eisnor, both of Waterville, and was one of the first SAR teams in the province.

Now 65 volunteer-members strong, the Valley Search and Rescue team are trained in competencies and best practices to effectively and safely locate, provide medical assistance, and evacuate lost persons in wilderness or remote areas. We also respond to an increasing number of civil emergencies and natural disasters.

Being a member of the team is both demanding and highly rewarding – as part of an emergency response organization under EMO, VSAR members must be ready and able to respond when called upon, sometimes in the middle of the night and in any weather conditions.
