Published purpose
The purpose of this project is to investigate, analyze, develop and implant a national accreditation and certification program (ACP) FOR GSAR volunteers, thus supporting CSA standards Z1620 and CSA Z1625. The success of this project moves us towards a national integrated all hazards emergency response by GSAR volunteer responders. Professional accreditation and certification experts (CSA Group) would be utilized to assist SARVAC and facilitate stakeholders (SAR subject experts from the Provinces and Territories and Authorities having jurisdiction) throughout the execution of this project.
