sharing the dry clothing he was
carrying in his pack.

He stayed with the injured
men and continued to assist
them even after North Shore
Rescue personnel arrived,
despite being deeply chilled
himself. He hiked back out,
unaided, at five o'clock that
night.

“1 was lucky to have virtual-
ly no injuries,” he said,
although his toes didn’t warm
up for about three weeks.

In 1999, Rutland’s heroic
behaviour earned him a certifi-
cate of honour from North
Vancouver District Council
and a Connelly nomination
from the North Shore Kiwanis
Club. He also received a
Carnegie Hero Fund medal
and monetary award.

But perhaps the most last-
ing commemoration of that
day has been his subsequent
volunteer work with the Lions

Bay Search and Rescue Team.
Rutland, 2 special constable
with TransLink security, had

thought about volunteering

with North Shore Search and
Rescue a few years ago. But at
the time, he wasn’t interested
in pursuing one of the require-

ments: an industrial first aid
ticket.

Following the Grouse
Grind incident, he took wilder-
ness winter survival courses to
educate himself because, as he
said, “I felt I had shown a lapse
in judgement over the weather
and conditions that day. But |
believe I was in the wrong
place at the right time.”

Now Rudand trains with
Lions Bay Search and Rescue
once a week and has been
going out on volunteer call-
outs.

He anticipates working the
February trip to Ottawa into
his days off, although he con-
cedes that TransLink would
probably be flexible with his
schedule under the circum-
stances.

Brenda Jones, media rela-
tions manager for TransLink
said, “We are very, very proud
of Ken’s accomplishments and
to have someone of his calibre
working with us.”
