REVISED Members Policy – 2011
Cochrane Search and Rescue (CSAR) prides itself on having an open door policy for new membership. In return, CSAR requires a level of commitment from our members in which to support our commitment to the Tasking Agencies and compliance with legal liabilities (i.e. Workers Compensation Board, Insurance and SAR Alberta).
Members who join CSAR are encouraged to participate in the monthly meetings and monthly training.
The “CSAR Membership List” is the official record of membership. These are members who have paid membership dues for the current year.
Upon the completion and passing of the Basic Search and Rescue Skills course and receiving the First Aid and CPR certificates, paying current year dues and receiving a Police Criminal Check, a member will automatically be placed on the Callout List.
Board Meetings take place on the first Wednesday of every month in the Board Room of the Cochrane Protective Service’s Center.
Training takes place on the second Thursday of every month at the Protective Service’s Center.
General Meetings take place on the forth Thursday of every month at the Protective Service’s Center.
