Why join a BCSSN discussion group
Every GSAR team faces unique challenges based on their local geography, local resources and the types and volume of recreation that happens around their community. At the same time, teams share many of the same challenges, frustrations and growing pains.
In order to make our volunteer lives easier and save our sanity, it is essential that we connect with each other, learn from our collective experiences and leverage the expertise that exists within our amazing GSAR community.
