Canadian Base Operators
CBO’s 15 Wing Moose Jaw Firefighter Samantha Kaluzny volunteered her time as a leader and role model at Camp Molly in White City, Saskatchewan. This was such a great opportunity to empower and educate a group of dynamic young women aged 15 to18 who are interested in pursuing a career in fire services. CBO contributed just over $1000 to support the camp and gave out fun and exciting loot bags to each attendee. To find out more about Camp Molly, the link is https://www.campmolly.ca/
