Mt. Seymour Medical Rescue

Seymour Rescue - Medical Rescue
Yesterday afternoon we were paged out for a medical rescue on Mt. Seymour.

The subject had slipped 25 meters on snow, and hit a tree, badly breaking his femur. NSR quickly deployed resources to the field via chopper and the subject was long lined out and delivered to BC Ambulance at the Bone Creek SAR station.

CTV has some news coverage on it here - http://www.ctvbc.ctv.ca/ go to the 6 minute mark, and you need to watch the short ad first. Unfortunately this feed updates everyday, so it may not be up for long. I tried to grab the video off the site with no luck.

3-Year-Old Gets Helicopter Wish

A few weeks ago I received an email through the website regarding a request for a helicopter ride for a terminally ill 3 year old boy. I immediately chatted with Tim (NSR Team Leader) and Peter Murray from Talon Helicopters. Tim and Peter contacted the family and set-up the ride.

Credit Union Golf Tournament

The North Shore Credit Union Golf Tournament went extremely well. A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out and supported North Shore Rescue. We set a new fundraising record and the new North Shore 6 Rescue Truck was unveiled by Bro Jake from Rock 101. Funds from last years tournament helped make the purchase of the truck possible.


North Shore Credit Union, DTM, Uniglobe Geo Travel and many other companies came out in support of NSR.


I will be getting some more pics from the tournament but here is a quick snapshot of the new NS6.

The summer rescue season is starting to pick up...

There was a mutual aid call on Saturday to assist Lions Bay Search and Rescue with a stretcher evacuation.
