The Bellemare group
Since 2017, the AQBRS canine teams have been able to count on the partnership of the Bellemare group from Trois-Rivières which provides us with a training site completely adapted to our needs for training rubble dogs.

A huge THANK YOU to the company which allows us to develop our expertise so that we can intervene effectively in the event of major disasters.
