@CoquitlamSAR So sad Mike. I deeply admired his work ethic & coding genius. His software saved lives—from Silver Alerts to text-locating missing people, team texting service & radio mapping. RIP Mike. All my thoughts are with Sylvia, Eamon, family & friends. ❤️

@CoquitlamSAR Soaked to the bone, but the mission was a success. 🚁💦 Great working with the crews from Metro, RCMP, and Fire today. It’s always a privilege to serve alongside such a professional group. #SearchAndRescue #RainyDay #PipelineSlide

Such a pleasure volunteering at Festival du Bois this weekend! 🍁There is nothing quite like making Tire d’Érable (maple taffy) at the André Beauregard Sugar Shack. It was a special way to honor my family heritage and share a sweet tradition with the community. ❄️🍯

@CoquitlamSAR Belle and I had a great time at the Fingerling Festival today! 🐟 She loved checking out the dog toys 🐾—though she was a little sad her “dog treat buddy” organizer Dave Bennie wasn't nearby. Next time! 💚

@CoquitlamSAR Honoring Dan, my SAR instructor 35 years ago—before cell phones, GPS, or fancy fabrics. He taught us skills, grit, and to leave the cotton jeans at home. Wool, wisdom, and watchfulness saved lives. Grateful for everything you passed on, Dan. Rest easy. #SearchAndRescue

[Ray Nordstrand @RayNordstrand]

@CoquitlamSAR Well deserved!

"Had a blast volunteering at the cabane à sucre at #FestivalDuBois! Pouring maple syrup like a true Québécois and embracing my Frenchness one tire d’érable at a time. Vive la tradition! 🇨🇦🍁 #SugarShackVibes"
