Proceeds raised during the
evening will go to the foun-

an equipment facility also
needed by the team.

Said North Shore Rescue
Team leader ‘Tim Jones, “The
West Vancouver Foundation
has, along with the City of
North Vancouver, paved’ the
way for us to resolve our crisis
for a facility and the credit
union has paved the way two
resolve the crisis over ‘our
communication and cquip-
ment vehicle.

“They're taking a leader-
ship role,” he said.

The volunteer organiza-
tion had struggled = with
fundraising efforts for the
new command vehicle.

Jones had launched a cam-
paign called == Operation
Rescue.

Last year the 40-member
volunteer force participated
in 60 rescues on the North
Shore mountains, throughout
the Fraser Valley and in other
parts of the province and
Washington state.

To date this year, the team
has attended approximately
40 rescues.

With this month just start-
ed and December still to
come, the team will likely see
another 20 or more calls.

The team’s existing vehicle
is more than 10 years old.

It’s a sluggish haul up the
hills and the brakes on the
truck are a real concern for
team members.

The confined space of the
truck also limits the team’s

“With our increasing role
in complex wilderness med-

that has the expanded capaci-

ment, allows us to respond to
critical situations on time, and

Jones said.

Prior to Wednesday's
funding announcement, the
team had raised $20,060, pri-
marily in the form of individ-
uals writing cheques to the
fund.
