VANCOUVER It was another busy night for rescue crews on the North Shore, who were called to two separate incidents Monday. North Shore Rescue sent two teams to track down a pair of lost snowshoers on Mount Seymour. The man and woman, both in their 30s, ran into trouble when they slipped and fell on an icy patch near Tim Jones Peak, NSR said. They were able to call 911, and rescue teams got their co-ordinates. They were reached at about 1 a.m. . Monday and were brought to safety. Neither was injured. And theirs was not the only rescue that night. NSR was also called to help find two teenagers who got lost near the Inter River Park and Lynn Creek area.
