WAYPOINT EMPLOYEE AIDS RCMP IN LOCATING LOST HIKER Janet Dorward of the Waypoint Insurance Port Hardy branch is being called a hero for helping the Royal Canadian Mounted Police ( RCMP ) locate a lost hiker in early January of this year .
On Saturday , January 7th , a man was reported missing by BC Ferries when it appeared that his car was in line for the ferry but he was no where to be found . BC Ferries called the RCMP about the missing 66-year-old man from Manitoba who had taken a hike out to the WWII plane crash site nearby and hadn ’ t made his way back . The RCMP was able to get a hold of him by cell phone , but the man could only give a vague description of where he was since it was getting dark .
The RCMP contacted Janet , who leads a local hiking group , with a description of the area . She was able to tell the RCMP exactly where he was and offered to come out at nine o ’ clock that evening to help find him . Janet and the RCMP found the man and brought him back by five o ’ clock the next morning . The RCMP stated that without Janet , there was no way they would have been able to find the man that night as the trail is very difficult to follow .
