Statistics show that each year in across Canada there are approximately 10,000 incidents, mostly marine based.  Search and Rescue (SAR) incidents involve all types of outdoor enthusiasts each year, from hiking and skiing to backcountry travelers and boaters.

AdventureSmart encourages you to get outside and play, but always be informed and prepared before you set out. Time spent gaining extra knowledge and in preparation can help reverse the SAR incident trend.
