SRD K9s of B.C. opens its newest facility
KAMLOOPS — It’s a facility that has been nearly five years in the making. The Search, Recovery and Detection K9s of B.C. opened their doors to the public for the first time Saturday (June 24) at their grand opening. It’s a facility that’s primarily dedicated to K9 training.
“This building was completely designed with the forethought of providing a world class centre of excellence for k9 training,” Vice President Randy Macleod told CFJC Today. “All of the features have been designed into it for example the surface of the floors that’s dog friendly and provides the right degree of traction, right to the walls and all the features within the building are really designed for this purpose.”
With the new facility, the SRD K9s will have the chance to host education seminars and workshops ranging from K9 dogs to a basic one. The funding for the facility came with the help of the Cooper Family Foundation who donated one million dollars.
