This might not be the Grouse Grind, but these hikers are heading for Grouse Mountain summit. Across the snow they trek, with the women in their long skirts and fancy hats, looking like they just arrived from a garden party. Do you wonder if they wished they could climb in pants?

Preventing the need for rescue was important to the North Shore Rescue team. Here, Earl Chambers gives a hiking safety lecture to students on Grouse Mountain in 1970. That prevention education is still a part of the team’s work today.
