NSR relies heavily on this grant to operate.

Rescue Last Night

Last night we had a rescue just off of the Baden Powell trail for two lost hikers. They were uninjured and the rescue was a quick one.

The Grind was particularly busy last night as well. Everyone please remember its getting dark earlier and earlier now. And BRING A FLASHLIGHT, not having a flashlight is the number one reason for these types of rescues. We had many people on the Grind last night who were caught in darkness and had to be assisted by our Grind Sweep. If you start the Grind in the afternoon or evening - you need to bring a flashlight. No one ever plans to be stuck in the dark, but it happens regularly.

Rescues the Past Weekend

There were two rescues last weekend, one near Mosquito Creek and another HFRS call to assist Cowichan Lake Area Search and Rescue on Vancouver Island. Pics below are from the Cowichan Lake call.
