PHOTOS: Number of women on South Surrey marine-rescue team ‘a bit of anomaly’
Rona Tepper and Kristen Gribble are among six women who are active RCMSAR5 Crescent Beach crew members, out of a total 28. Tenures of the women range from eight months to 7.5 years. Melissa Reynolds and Anna Threlfall are among the RCMSAR5 Crescent Beach unit’s female members. hen it comes to protecting the lives of those who take part in water-related activities, there’s a factor regarding the Semiahmoo Peninsula that stands out – the number of women who sign up for the task.
“I would say the 20% at Crescent Beach is a bit of an anomaly compared across the board. And in fact, a goal I would like to see achieved/exceeded at every unit,” Sheasgreen said by email. “I feel that all of the members of our station have that same passion to help others and feel it is a privilege to do so,” she said.
RCMSAR5 station leader Rona Tepper said one of her proudest moments was orchestrating an AAF event aimed at inspiring future women leaders to consider roles long perceived as reserved for men. Tepper, a mother of three who devotes an average of 40 hours per month to RCMSAR5, was quick to climb the ranks of the Crescent Beach station. Within her first year of joining, she was nominated for the role of deputy station leader. Two years later, she took the helm, and is now in her second term with the title.
“Before I even answered I said to myself, who on earth would be out on the water right now?!” she said.
