Never met the man or had to be rescued by North Shore Search and Rescue, but knowing that he and the other volunteers are there in case I do…
A well-deserved recognition of the work they do.

Too bad Gordo is also receiving one.

Its the least this province could do for him….the amount of hours that he has put into NSSR is staggering.

Really? A selfless individual gets honoured for his service, and all you can do is douche up the thread with your political views?

Well said.
The SAR members are the true heroes.

I think they are just mentioning that the honour itself has been douched up.
Awesome, Tim does deserve it. He has put in COUNTLESS volunteer hours with NSR.

It's their opinion. But the fact remains, it is an opinion based on personal political bias.
And it has, or at least should have, no bearing on the honour bestowed upon Tim Jones.

Take it to PM Ken, you're douching up the thread.

And his response shows what he's all about.
_I really appreciate it. Its a great honour, Jones said. But you have to take a step back and realize theres dozens of guys out there in search and rescue that do what I do in terms of time commitment. This is really a shot in the arm for search and rescue in B.C. It puts us more on the map and rightly so. We do make a huge difference, asking little in return. Were all volunteers and this is an honour I share with the other volunteers in this province.
Jones noted that a Nelson SAR volunteer lost her life during a river rescue this year.
The teams are not an inexhaustible resource, he said. Theyve got jobs, theyve got families, they go on holidays, they get sick, they get hurt. Theres training, theres fundraising, theres so many hours that go into just getting a team in the field. And theres the odd time someone loses their life. So this really honours all of those 2,500 volunteers, and those who gave their lives.
Jones also saluted the other first responders his team often works alongside, particularly volunteer firefighters and his employer, B.C. Ambulance Service._
