Canceled due to Corona Virus Issues - Wilderness First Aid Training Course

Outing Type → 

I will refund all down payments in early April. Sorry but due to a need for social distancing will need to try to run this at another time.

Rationale

There are many areas in Canada where 911 is not an avail­able option in response to a med­ical or trau­matic emer­gency. Weather, remote­ness and lim­ited equip­ment can poten­tially delay access to EMS. This places con­sid­er­able respon­si­bil­ity on the actions and deci­sion mak­ing of res­cuers/first respon­ders. The need for knowl­edge and skills beyond the scope of ‘stan­dard’ first aid is distinct.

This is a 2 day course that is designed specifically for answering the needs of people who like to partake in Wilderness adventures, whether it be canoeing, hiking, etc.

The program is divided between classroom and practical skills, utilizing scenarios and simulations to enhance learning and develop effective interventions and competent patient care.

Notes

New details for signing up -- Jan 20th.

The cost is normally $250 + HST with the Canadian Wilderness Medical Training Association (CWMT). If I can confirm you are a WCA member when you email me a discount shall be applied (this is also available to any of your friends who sign up using your name!) Therefore, including the HST, WCA members pay only $220.35 !! to the CWMT Association, and then $40 for the cost of renting the room (paid to me). This is, of course, a total of $260.35 for WCA members and their friends.
