Some quick updates:

• North Shore Credit Union Golf Tournament Fundraiser is this Friday. This is the biggest fundraiser of the year for us. We will have the unveiling of our new NS 6 - an F350 Rescue Truck at the event.
• Two weekends ago we had a body recovery for a male in Lyn Creek. We also had a rescue for a lost mountain biker in the Lyn Creek area.
• Last weekend was the rope rescue team member evaluation that was attended by a number of NSR members, including yours truly. Everyone did well, and passed with flying colours.
• Last weekend was the Capilano Gate SAR Station opening ceremony.
• North Shore News article on a recent search launched from the Cap Gate SAR Station
  
• Next weekend is the members in training evaluation - for all new NSR recruits they must pass a written and practical exam.
• Grouse Grind - looks like it is opening soon.
• This past week we saw quite a bit of avalanche activity in the coastal mountains as the snowpack went isothermal (fancy word for slush) - as the snow heats up and reaches 0 degrees, the snow loses all cohesion and slides.
