Welcome
Annapolis County Ground Search
and Rescue
Since 1976, our mandate is to locate and rescue lost persons within the
County of Annapolis and all towns and villages in Annapolis Co., and we
also assist our neighbouring teams throughout Nova Scotia.
Are you looking for information on how to notify ACGSAR in
the event of a lost person?
Any missing/lost person is and starts as a criminal investigation and can
only be investigated by an AOJ (Agency of Jurisdiction) aka police.
ACGSAR has to be activated by an AOJ - we cannot self deploy.
100% Non-profit
Annapolis County Ground Search and Rescue (ACGSAR)
is a 100% non-profit, volunteer search and rescue organization and
registered charity with in Nova Scotia.
Our volunteers are on call 24/7, 365 days a year to respond to lost-
person incidents and civil emergencies when needed. Most of our
searches take place at night and in inclement weather. A search can
mean looking for anyone from lost hikers, campers, and skiers to
children and Alzheimer’s patients. All volunteers of ACGSAR are
volunteers. They provide their own food, gasoline, time, and a wide
variety of specialized equipment necessary for braving sometimes
severe outdoor conditions.
Our members are dedicated and skilled, but we need your help!
Please support our search and rescue efforts. Making a gift to
Annapolis County Ground Search and Rescue is a direct and
meaningful way to help someone who may be lost or injured. A
financial gift will allow us to continue to provide these critical
services to the people in the Annapolis Valley.
We show up when needed,
All hours of the day or night!
