Welcome to CASARA Saskatchewan "Volunteer air search and rescue second to none" CASARA Saskatchewan is part of the Civil Air Search and Rescue Association (commonly known as CASARA). We are a Canada-wide volunteer non-profit aviation association dedicated to the promotion of Aviation Safety, and to the provision of trained and effective air search support services to supplement our National Search and Rescue program.  Membership is open to all pilots and/or aircraft owners, as well as to any who may wish to receive training to serve as spotters, navigators or ground crew as part of a search team.  Members receive training in fields such as aviation safety, meteorology, survival awareness and search techniques and procedures. CASARA members are active in all Canadian Provinces and Territories so "That Others May Live".    In short we are a committed group of serious minded but fun loving volunteers who offer our time, skills, ideas and energy in support of advancing aviation safety and maintaining a civilian air search readiness and professionalism in Canada.  We may be called upon to help quickly locate and assist in a variety of situations where trained quick response air search capacity would be a benefit. Such situations may involve aircraft, vessels, vehicles or persons that are missing or in distress. Each Canadian province or territory is divided into a number of operational ZONES or UNITS.  For more information on Saskatchewan Zones (contacts, upcoming events, SAR updates etc.) please check out Sask Zones CASARA National Web site                              Click here.....  TO JOIN CASARA SASK Recent Events  4th Canadian Ranger Patrol Group Exercise Western Spirit in Northern Saskatchewan Exercise Western Spirit is a 34-day exercise that will see 30 members of the Rangers unit traverse Western Canada on snowmobiles.
