The Silver Star Ski Patrol has reason to be proud today after receiving the Canadian Ski Patrol Systems highest first aid recognition award. Silver Star Ski Patrol and Safety Manager Jeremy Griffiths along with patrollers Nate Davis, Zach Hurt, Dan Hindle, and Steve Oakes were presented with the National Life Saving Award in recognition for outstanding achievement. On December 21, 2009 Jeremy and his team, backed by members of the Silver Star Fire Department, Doctor Kira McClellan, and paramedics from the BC Ambulance Service responded to two separate cardiac arrests, two hours apart, at the Resort. Thanks to the incredible response time and advanced skills of this team, both patients were successfully resuscitated and made remarkable recoveries. The National Life Saving Award is the highest first aid recognition award presented nationally to members of the Canadian Ski Patrol. Until two years ago, it had only been presented 14 times in total since its inception. Members of the Silver Star Ski Patrol have received it 6 times since then. Along with the Life Saving Award presentation, the Canadian Ski Patrol System presented other members of the Silver Star Ski Patrol and Silver Star Fire Department with Outstanding Achievement Awards recognizing those who have gone above and beyond in the selfless administration of first aid and care to others.
