Ridge Meadows SAR was contacted to assist in the search for a 48 year old man reported overdue on the Coquitlam side of the Pitt River near Grant Narrows. We responded with our boat, Ridge 2 and hovercraft, Ridge 4. One ground team was assigned to check out the few remaining cabins in the area while another member joined forces with the RCMP dog handler to see if they could follow a track from the last know point of the missing man. Coquitlam SAR also responded with ground teams heading in to the forestry campground at Widgeon Creek and their inflatable boat, launching from the Grant Narrows ramp.
Now sign of the man was found near any of the structures in the area. At approximately 20:30, the RCMP dog team located the subject tired, thirsty, hungry and somewhat scratched up from fighting through the blackberries but otherwise ok. We provided him wim some water and snacks and them extricated him back to the Grant Narrows boat launch.
After a brief discussion with the SAR manager and RCMP, we transported him back across the river to the cabin where he was staying. |

We were paged by RCMP to search for a missing 67 year old male who had called in on his cell phone stating that he had lost the trail near Mike Lake in Golden Ears Park. The team assembled at the Mike Lake parking lot and set up the Command Post. The RCMP helicopter "Air One" was tasked to fly the area with their FLIR. Several family members and friends were also in the area searching for our subject. Their locations were unknown to us. As SAR members were being assigned to their search areas, a call came in from the helicopter that they had located a single human heat source at the west end of Mike Lake. Two teams were reassigned to locate what could possibly be our subject. After some directions from the helicopter, one of the teams met up with the target who was determined to be a friend of the subject. Upon learning this, Command began re-assigning teams to their original assignments. Shortly after, a SAR member arrived on scene after having picked up our subject walking along the road. He was none the worse for wear and was reunited with his friends and family. |

Ridge Meadows SAR, along with other Fraser Valley teams took to the water on the Fraser River to resume the search for a man missing from the Hope area. We had two boats on the water, Ridge 2 our 19ft aluminum boat and a 14 ft zodiac. The two teams were able to cover all of the shoreline from Stave River west to the west end of Douglas Island, including the channels on the south sides of Crescent and Barnston Islands. No sign of the missing man was found, and the search was again suspended.
