Search and Rescue: North Shore (NSR)
Overview
In Canada’s busiest volunteer search and rescue unit, a dedicated team races against time on foot and by helicopter through the unforgiving wilderness of North Vancouver. Every call brings a new crisis—hikers lost in dense forest, climbers stranded on sheer cliffs. With courage and grit, these everyday heroes push their limits to bring strangers home safely, knowing that in the rugged backcountry, one wrong step can mean the difference between life and death.
