North Shore Search and Rescue

North Shore Search and Rescue

THE North Shore Search and Rescue team is often called upon to enter dangerous situations. Whether it's a lost hiker in the mountains or a skier that strayed out of bounds, this team works together with local officials to, shall we say, boldly go where no one has gone before. On March 27, at Deep Cove's Raven Pub, friends and supporters came out to raise funds for the team and its efforts. The pub put on a great big roast beef dinner and donted $10 from every $20 ticket to the cause. There was also a silent auction filled with adventurous items thanks to the generosity of the folks at Seymour Mtn. and the Deep Cove Bike Shop.

	A big spoonful of mashed potatoes for Adam Webb keeps him smiling. Adam has been on the team for four years.
	It takes volunteers like Ron Royston (from left), training officer Bridget Milson and Tim Jones to get things off the ground.
	Manager Allan McMordie (from left) joined traininger guru Ross Montgomery and fellow manager Don Jardine for dinner.
	Server Julio Duarte made sure everyone got dessert as he passed out the treats.
	Paraglider Kerry Grant just loves the mountains. He hopes to be part of the Canadian Paragliding Team as they head to the world championships in south Spain.
	Jackie and Bruno Moffat are great team supporters. Jackie is a fund raising whiz while Bruno says he is just a "regular grunt".
	Guest Francis Buys (from left) joined rookie team members Marcel Labreche and Mike Dalsanto to share some stories.
	It was an evening for friends, to be sure. From left: Koryn Grant, Doug Reid, Jim Loree and Trish Gauntlett.
	Familiar faces indeed. Team leader Greg Miller (left) has been a member since 1975 and founding member Gerry Brewer has been honoured many times for his 35 years of service.
	The Crawford family took over operations of The Raven pub just recently. A big thanks to (from left) son Mike, daughter Justine, mom Jennifer and dad Peter for their generosity this night.
	Pretty Johneen McElroy is a cardiac nurse. A perfect match for North Van firefighterErik Bjarnason.
