Emergency crews were needed for a West Kelowna woman who fell during a snowy Boxing Day hike in the city’s Glenrosa area.
The woman was rescued, then transported to hospital by ambulance.
“We had a couple of hikers, a husband and a wife, who were down in the canyon,” said Bob Peters of West Kelowna Fire Rescue. “The wife took a bit of a spill and twisted her ankle. They called 911.”

The woman was approximately a kilometre and a half along the trail, and, according to emergency crews, wasn’t able to walk out.
“She was on a trail, so it wasn’t difficult [for emergency crews] to get to her,” said Peters. “We took her out on a stretcher, so it went really smooth.”
