A South Okanagan search and rescue organization is benefitting from a provincial gaming fund grant.
The Oliver-Osoyoos Search and Rescue Society has received $5 million through the province's Community Gaming Grants program.
The organization will use the funds to build a truck and trailer station to support its search and rescue efforts.
