As you probably all know Lily, a 6-year old Fernie Golden Retriever, is in need of a little community support and fundraising.She is a Canadian Avalanche Rescue Dog and together with her handler, Kirk Gutzman, has been training and working in the Fernie Community for the last 6 years.
Lily and Kirk have literally put in thousands of hours of work time in Fernie, both as an avalanche rescue team member at Fernie Alpine Resort and as volunteers with Fernie Search and Rescue. When someone goes missing in the back-country or is in an avalanche Lily and Kirk are ready to respond.
At Christmas Lily was diagnosed with cancer and the treatment is expensive. Insurance only goes so far and as part of our appreciation for the work Lily has done over the years we are having a fundraising event for our four-legged friend in financial need.
