Private Kootenay Lake cruise raises funds for animal rescue

Hope Beyond Borders is giving residents a unique way to support its work.

The local animal rescue group is offering an exclusive four-hour private charter cruise aboard the historic Cara Mia on Kootenay Lake this summer to raise funds for animals in need.

The cruise can accommodate up to four guests and includes a captain-guided tour of Kootenay Lake’s scenic spots, as well as hors d’oeuvres and champagne.

The all-inclusive cost is $1,000, with all proceeds going directly to Hope Beyond Borders Animal Rescue to support medical care and supplies for dogs rescued from Mexico.

The cruise is designed for small groups, which Hope Beyond Borders founder Denise Maglio said makes it a perfect way to celebrate a milestone birthday, anniversary, or simply enjoy the region’s beauty.

“It’s a beautiful thing to do. If somebody’s got like an anniversary or birthday, it’s a great experience. And so we’re going to be probably doing two of those cruises, and that would really help us with the animals,” Maglio said.
