Don't want to become a searcher but still want to support RVGSAR? We're looking for people to help with: Maintenance of vehicles and equipment, bookkeeping, training, social media, communications, fundraising, and more.

"River Valley Ground Search and Rescue is a great organization within the Province of New Brunswick. I have worked with them on many Events, and they are a solid, professional Team focused on assisting RCMP and New Brunswick Emergency Measures Organization. Strong Leadership, strong group and always willing to do whatever it takes to assist.

Whether it be a search for a missing person, assisting with Wellness Check, or working in the Regional Emergency Operations Centre as a Logistics officer, they always come through. I am please to have them as an asset and work side-by-side with them any day or night!"
