Resort Hosts Emergency Services Day

Saturday is Emergency Services Day at Silver Star Mountain Resort.

People can watch live demos, learn about avalanche rescue techniques, watch and assist in live firefighting demonstrations from the local Silver Star Fire Hall.

“It’s an awareness day for the community. It showcases some of the services that are available and a few of the things they are able to do in an emergency situation,” says Jessica Crick, safety coordinator for Silver Star. “This event provides members of the public the opportunity to meet the services outside of the stressful situations these meetings generally take place in.”

Any volunteers (not including family) from Fire, BCAS, RCMP, Red Cross, St. John’s, Search and Rescue, Dragoons (army), PepAir (CASARA – also search and rescue) will get 50 per cent off day tickets on Saturday.

A percentage of each lift ticket will be donated to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation .

The volunteer Silver Star Fire Department will be taking bids on a two-person lift from the old Summit Chair which was removed last spring and replaced with the new Doppelmayr Gondola.

Since 1970, the Summit Chair brought skiers and boarders to the top of the mountain and for many locals, the chair reminds them of unforgettable memories at Silver Star.

Proceeds from the Summit Chair will go towards the Fire Department.
