      <![CDATA[^^ It is discussed in the article but there is no mention of SAR funding in the May 31, 2012 proposal to BC Parks. The risk management matrix identifies the potential for increasing accident rates but the mitigation action only lists:  "Rescue equipment, maps, and first aid supplies will be kept in each hut."<br>
<br>
There is also no line item in the costing tables specifying an allowance for SAR funding/support.

      <![CDATA[^^ Spearhead Hut project has taken this into account; see the Feature article from Fall '11 in the PIQUE. Part of their proposal includes proper funding for SAR, increased education, etc. Keep in mind that the increases in injuries above are from sledders, and are already increasing regardless.

      <![CDATA[As stated: "There's no doubt about it, if you look at the statistics you can see that search and rescue is just a numbers game," he said. "When you put more people out there you're going to have more calls."<br>
<br>
With the proposed Spearhead hut system and inevitable increase in backcountry users drawn to the huts, additional SAR resources will no doubt be required.
