Unveiled on March 2, 2017, the Search and Rescue Volunteer Memorial is dedicated to those rescuers who lost their lives in the line of duty and to those volunteers who continue to serve.
Those volunteers who are remembered by this memorial were members of either the B.C. Search and Rescue Association, the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue, or the Provincial Emergency Program (PEP) Air. Each organization is similarly depicted by the memorial in recognition of the risks and dedication that past and present members have shown through their volunteering.
March 2 is the annual Search and Rescue Volunteer Memorial Day.
The Search and Rescue Volunteer Memorial is located on the Legislative Precinct to the east of the back of the Parliament Buildings, along a pathway dedicated to honouring the fallen first responders of British Columbia.
