On Christmas Eve, COSAR was called out to assist the Kelowna RCMP in searching for and locating an elderly female with a mental health issue in the North Glenmore area.

Happy Holidays from COSAR

As our team flies past the 100 call-out mark, and onto #104 this week, we are thankful for our entire community.

Busy Week for COSAR

Last night Central Okanagan Search and Rescue was called out twice within 90 minutes.
Our first call came in from the Kelowna RCMP at 8:45 p.m. to help search for an elderly female with dementia.

A Tradition: The MIT Overnighter

In 2020 the COSAR team had to postpone a time-honoured tradition due to COVID-19: an overnight team-building event that involves our new recruits and veteran members.
