The East Kootenay (Cranbrook) branch of the B.C. SPCA opens from 1 to 4 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday, but from 8 a.m. on weekdays, plenty of work goes on behind the locked doors. Administration, fundraising, housekeeping and animal care are done under the direction of Christy King, the new manager of the facility. King is a trained animal care supervisor and veterinary assistant who came to Cranbrook from her supervisory position at the Sunshine Coast B.C. SPCA in Sechelt. King took on the job in early July 2017, stepping into the position formerly held by Brenna Baker.
