Outerwear contract
North Vancouver-based outerwear manufacturer and retailer Arc'teryx has signed a three-year contract with the British Columbia Search and Rescue Association (BCSARA). Under the agreement, Arc'teryx is recognized as the official outerwear sponsor for the BCSARA and will provide a range of clothing wear including soft and hard-shells, thermal underwear, gloves and backpacks. "The professional volunteers that donate their time to search and rescue organizations don't have time to focus on anything other than helping others when it matters. Working at the frontline, we're here to keep everyone warm and dry regardless of the conditions," said Arc'teryx's James Bronson.
