In early 2025, we launched our new Pets of Patrollers feature to highlight the happiness and comfort we experience when our animal friends interact with us.
For our sixth feature of the year, here are the July stars:
Otis and Potato, Calgary
Otis is a 1.5-year-old Bernese Pyrenees and Potato is a two-year-old Corgi. Despite their size difference Otis (rocking the red jacket) and Potato love to wrestle.
Owner: Christina Hackett, Sunshine Ski Village, Calgary Zone.
Callie, Nova Scotia
Callie is a six-year-old Nova Scotia Duck Toller Retriever. She loves the snow, morning walks in the park, and treats!
Owner: Glenn Mason, Ski Wentworth, Nova Scotia Zone.
How to get your pet featured
Please send an email to Diana Lee (diana.lee@skipatrol.ca) with the subject line: “Pets of Patrollers: Your Name, Your Pet Name” and the following details:
- Name, age, breed of your pet (e.g., Onyx, two years old, German Shepherd dog).
- Fun fact or an interesting detail about your pet and what they mean to you.
- Attach a photo of your pet (bonus points if they are wearing CSP gear).
- Your zone and the name of the resort(s) you patrol at.
Mental health is an important aspect of the Canadian Ski Patrol. We hope that these pet photos spark joy throughout your 2025 season.
Even for those who don’t have pets, interacting or even seeing an animal can boost their mood. Just think of the positive impact of therapy dogs.
