The Strathcona Regional District (SRD) sponsors local PSLV programs as part of its regional approach to providing humanitarian aid and are recruiting volunteers for the Emergency Support Services, Emergency Communications, and Animal Response Team programs. Whether you are interested in deploying, training, administration, or even assisting behind-the-scenes on your own time, there is a role for you.
“Volunteers have various skills and resources that can be offered during a disaster and when planned for, can make an invaluable impact by increasing response capacity” said Shaun Koopman, SRD’s Protective Services Coordinator. “For those interested in pursuing a career in a field of emergency response such as armed forces, RCMP, fire or health, the skills learned in these volunteer programs provide valuable professional development and mentorship.”
The first principle of the BC Emergency Management System is to Ensure the Health and Safety of all Volunteers and First Responders. All programs mentioned below have been adapted to respect the physical distancing requirements of Covid-19 and the safety of our volunteers is top priority.
Volunteer information sessions will be held virtually during the first week of March.
