KAMLOOPS — A woman from Kamloops was recognized for her volunteer work during last year’s wildfire season at a ceremony in Victoria Tuesday.

Carolynne Miller was one of six Public Safety Lifeline award winners and recogized at the Parliament Buildings. She was presented the award by Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General Mike Farnworth and by Emergency Management BC staff.

Miller was honoured for her work in the area of emergency social services (ESS).

The retired teacher joined the Kamloops ESS Team after the 2003 wildfire season and now works as the documentation chief.
