BC TRACKING ASSOCIATION

The British Columbia Tracking Association (BCTA) is a registered, non-profit society, dedicated to the establishment and the maintenance of proven and consistent tracker training standards in the province of British Columbia. Our self-imposed mandate is to not only oversee the high standards of training and to facilitate recognized tracker training opportunities throughout the province, but also to encourage the utilization of trained trackers in Search and Rescue operations. The BCTA's scope of operations includes informing user groups as to the efficacy of tracking and how trained trackers can augment search operations. This informational process includes presentations, literature, and a professionally developed video... Our primary goal is to have every certified Ground Search and Rescue volunteer in the province of British Columbia trained to the first level of tracking certification: Ground Search and Rescue Track Aware.
