Paul Turner, president of the Bow Valley SPCA, presented a gift certificate, donated by the Banff Caribou Keg, for dinner at their restaurant and a Certificate of Appreciation to Linda Stenger for her outstanding dedication and work for the Bow Valley SPCA.
Linda has volunteered for the Bow Valley SPCA since its opening in 2007. She drives from Banff to the Carla Cumming Sojonky Adoption Centre 2 or 3 times a week.
Her work focuses on the care of abandoned, stray and injured cats, though she has been seen in the dog area on several occasions. In addition to her work at the Centre, Linda lives with several adopted cats, mentors new volunteers and works at special events. Adoption Centre Manager Sonya White commented, “The staff loves Linda almost as much as the cats. She is always bringing us small gifts and tasty treats.”
According to Turner, “Linda is one of our many volunteers who work tirelessly on behalf of our rescued cats and dogs, and we are grateful for them all!”
