Our History
Tundra Rescue was founded in 2011 by Canadian military veterans with expertise in mountain operations and a vision to create a consultancy that could provide types of specialist rescue assistance to organisations working in remote areas.
We completed our first rope access work assignment on a wind turbine in late 2011 and today, following various changes in management and strategy and a lot of growth over the last decade, we are a recognised specialist provider of industrial and commercial safety, maintenance, technical access, rope access and training solutions in all kinds of working environments and sectors.
Our customers range from small local companies to some of Canada’s largest and most well-known firms and brands.
We are called Tundra Rescue but we offer much more than just rescue services.
