 Many of you will already be aware of Kate Guenette and her dog Clifford (see our story). Clifford is an avalanche rescue dog, and he and Kate have just earned the official title of "Team in Training" by CARDA (Canadian Avalanche Rescue Dog Association). What this means is that because Clifford is the only rescue dog in the area, if there is an emergency he and Kate would be dispatched until the RCMP and search and rescue teams arrive.Clifford and Kate are hosting a fundraiser dinner party at the Ridge Rocket Cafe on Wednesday February 10th, and they hope to be covered in an avalanche of support from the local community and other stakeholders at Big White. Tickets are only $25 and include a buffet style dinner, a glass of wine, dancing and plenty of prizes. There will also be a silent auction. February 10, 2010 – Doors at 6, dinner at 7pm. Tickets can be purchased at the Ridge Day lodge (bottom of the Snow Ghost / Ridge Rocket) or from Kate at the Ski Patrol hut. Come out and show your support for a team that might some day come to your rescue!
