Canadian Avalanche Rescue Dog Association (CARDA) has its roots in Whistler through the initiative of long-time resident and former patroller Bruce Watt. Its mission is to train and validate volunteer teams of dogs and handlers for avalanche rescue.
American Friends of Whistler provided $5000 to help CARDA publish a children’s book, Radar the Rescue Dog, focused on mountain safety. (Radar was Bruce Watt’s first avalanche dog.) Income from sales will help maintain CARDA programs.
