AT Banter Episode 354 – Scott Rees

Scott Rees, a man in his late 30s with brown hair, sits on a beach and looks to the camera. The text "Episode 354 - Scott Rees" takes up the left hand side of the image.

In July of 2023, Scott Rees swam more than 30 kilometres across the Strait of Georgia, from Vancouver to Nanaimo, in just under 11 hours as part of a fundraiser for Canadian Guide Dogs. Join us this week as we sit down with Scott to talk about his vision journey with retinitis pigmentosa, his own experience getting his Guide Dog Caleb, what prompted him to start up this ambitious fundraiser, and what it was like to brave the waters of the Georgia Strait for 11 hours. Grab some Doritos and settle in, you don’t want to miss this one!
