The Penticton and District Search & Rescue team gave a special shout out to the CUPE 523 Union on Thursday.
Every year the CUPE 523, which represents clerical, educaiton assistants, custodians and other school support workers, chooses a few non profits to make a charitable donation to and this year they chose the local group of volunteers.
PenSAR thanked them for their $500 donation
The volunteer-run team provides rescue services, free of charge, 24/7 and urges people to not wait for the situation to become dire before they call for help.
