Coquitlam search and Rescue was called to search for one missing hiker in the Widgeon Falls area on Monday in a frustrating search that suffered from incomplete and perhaps even false information.
The team was called at 5:30PM to look for a missing hiker, and was told that the subject's hiking partner was the person who reported them missing. However, when the team landed at the Widgeon Slough campground, the person was not to be found. When they could not be located at the Grant Narrows area (where canoeists usually put in for the trip to the Widgeon Area), it was decided to treat both hikers as missing, and to carry on the search until they could be located.

On Monday, Coquitlam
Search and Rescue was contacted by the Burnaby RCMP to assist in
the search for a missing 18 year old from Burnaby.
