Coquitlam SAR was asked to assist Lions Bay SAR and North Shore Rescue in a large search for two missing teenage hikers (and their two dogs) in the area near the Lions. On a day when the weather was the worst in recent memory, and while the team was active in another search, 10 members of the team traveled to Lions Bay to begin searching the trails, and drainages near The Lions. Assisting teams that had been searching since 11:00PM the previous day, and hampered by the weather, low visibility and lack of helicopter support, a ground team found the pair a few kilometers north of the Lions, mildly hypothermic but apparently in good condition.

Coquitlam SAR was asked to assist in a search for the occupants of a vehicle that went off the Pitt river bridge on the border of Coquitlam and Maple Ridge. The initial task, performed Sunday morning from 2:30 AM to 6:30 AM involved searching the river for survivors of the crash. However, once the RCMP Dive team discovered that the submerged vehicle had no bodies in it, a new search for the deceased occupants occurred during the day on Monday, while at he same time other members of Coquitlam SAR were active in the search for two missing teenage hikers . Nothing was found, and the search was terminated.

Coquitlam Search and Rescue was called to search for a missing hiker in the Buntzen Lake area at 9:55 PM Sunday October 22nd. Approximately 28 SAR members, RCMP members and a dog handler responded, including SAR volunteers who had been actively searching earlier in the day on the Pitt River. Five members arrived at Town Centre Firehall where they took the team's Argo 8x8 ATV up the Eagle Mountain access road, and three different teams began searching on the Dilly Dally, Swan Falls and Halvor Lunden trails.

The BC Ambulance service paged Coquitlam SAR at approximately 10:45 Saturday October 14th to asist them accessing an unconscious 16 year old student in the Widgeon Falls area. About 25 members responded to the Coquitlam Town Centre Firehall where they were met by a helicopter from Talon Helicopters (it should be noted that at the time 6 members were about to attend a first aid course, and several other members were training on the team's Rigid Hull Inflatable boat).

A team of three SAR members which included a Medical Doctor and a Paramedic were flown into the area, while a second team was sent by ground via the Argo 8x8 ATV. A third team of five followed in Coquitlam 2 to secure the landing zone for the helicopter, and provide support for the first two teams. At the same time preparations were underway to perform a long line rescue with the assistance of North Shore Rescue and a second Talon helicopter.
