Important Information, Search Plan for Sunday at Pacific Spirit Park
Folks, a quick update for our efforts tomorrow.
Despite the foul weather (at least it isn’t supposed to snow), we are still meeting tomorrow at 9:00am at Pacific Spirit Regional Park Office on 16th Avenue (500m west of Blanca on north side of road). There are 2 important changes to our search plan tomorrow:
- We will not be performing a detailed grid-pattern search as we did in Stanley Park. First, we don’t believe that this is a primary location for him to be found but we do wish to ensure a methodical search has taken place here. Secondly, the entire Pacific Spirit Regional parks area is essentially a protected conservation area and in order to reduce/eliminate any damage to the plants and animals – we are going to limit our search to only the trails. This will dramatically reduce the time that it will take to adequately cover this region.
- Given the first change, we will therefore be redirecting many volunteers back towards the city to the Vancouver Eastside communities to continue canvassing, putting up the missing poster in high-visibility locations and searching parks.
Since we won’t know exactly how many volunteers we have until we perform a headcount in the morning—we ask that everyone still plan to gather at the meeting point so that we can organize the groups, assign team leaders and then distribute the kits (maps, posters, contact numbers, etc.)
Additionally, I have contacted many of the Team Leaders from the search effort on Wednesday in Stanley Park to request your assistance once more. If I have contacted you today, or if you wish to participate as a Team Leader, please come to the meeting location at 8:30am.
Best Regards, Sean (sean@findpierre.com)
