More Than Rescue
We provide confined space, rope access, and related industrial services and training across a wide range of working environments under Tundra Rescue & Tundra Rope Access
Experience & Expertise Since 2011
Tundra Rescue was founded in 2011 by Canadian military veterans with expertise in mountain operations and a vision to deliver specialized rescue support to organizations operating in remote environments.
Our History
We completed our first rope access project on a wind turbine in late 2011. Since then, through continued growth, evolving leadership, and strategic development, we have become a recognized provider of industrial and commercial safety, maintenance, technical access, rope access, and training solutions across diverse sectors. In 2024, we launched the Tundra Rope Access brand to better serve clients with dedicated industrial rope access needs. This brand operates under the same management team as Tundra Rescue.
Our clients range from small local businesses to some of Canada’s largest and most recognized organizations.
While our name is Tundra Rescue, our capabilities extend far beyond rescue services.
