After months of the silent treatment from the province, North Shore Rescue will now be allowed to use one of their most powerful tools at night.
After a months-long stand-off with Emergency Management BC, North Shore Rescue has now been given approval to use a helicopter hoist to get lost and injured people out of the mountains at night.
“As of last night, we are operational to respond if the situation arises,” he said. “In essence, they're very, very keen to move forward with this project. They said the arguments that were presented were all valid and they will be more closely aligning with Transport Canada.” Danks said it was a “surreal” feeling to get the go-ahead after many months of getting the silent treatment from the province, despite investing so much in training and volunteer time.
