One Okanagan organization turning 60 this year is helping out another that has been around for a decade longer.
Big White Ski Resort, which is celebrating its diamond anniversary, has donated $5,000 to Central Okanagan Search and Rescue, which is turning 70 years old in 2024.
“These volunteers do such fantastic work for Big White and our surrounding communities,” Big White chief operating officer Darcy Arnold said. “Whether it’s a rescue mission beyond the resort boundary ropes or deep in the backcountry, COSAR has always been there, responding swiftly and professionally.
“Their dedication ensures the safety of our guests and staff year-round. As unpaid professionals, they rely on government funding and community support to continue delivering these invaluable services, and we’re proud to support them in any way we can.”
The money will support the equipment, training and resources required by COSAR, which consists of 50 highly trained volunteers who respond to more than 100 incidents annually throughout the Central Okanagan.
COSAR is B.C.’s oldest search and rescue organization.
