About this audio guide
This guide to Mount Seymour Park in Vancouver opens on January 19, 2014, when a man walked down from a rescue cabin on this mountain with his daughter and a teammate beside him. It traces who he was, Tim Jones, the head of North Shore Rescue, credited with helping save more than sixteen hundred lives on a mountain that looks gentler than it is. You'll hear how a governor's name from 1936 came to share this ridge with a rescuer's. Best heard looking toward the twin summits above the parking lot.
