Program:
(HUSAR) Heavy Urban Search and Rescue
Program Purpose:

The HUSAR Program aims to maintain the HUSAR capabilities of Canadian HUSAR Task Forces in Vancouver (British Columbia); Calgary (Alberta); the Province of Manitoba; and Toronto (Ontario). The Program also aims to develop HUSAR capacity and capability in the underserved regions of Montreal (Quebec) and Halifax (Nova Scotia).
Canada’s national approach to emergency management needs to be reflective of the needs of all partners, and the changing risk environment. As growing cities, aging infrastructure and climate variability increase across the country, ensuring sufficient HUSAR capacity is increasingly important.
Federal investments will be targeted towards specific HUSAR initiatives or projects on a cost-shared ratio of 75% (federal) and 25% (provincial/other). The maximum federal contribution is 75% of the cost of a HUSAR project.
