At the beginning of May, there will be a course for Wilderness First Aid.
The course is for outdoors people that may run into a situation where there’s an emergency and can’t contact emergency services.
President of the Parkland Paddling Club, Mick Lautt, says this course is about being prepared in the backcountry to deal with a situation with proper training and the confidence you can take care of someone in your group should you need to.
Lautt says the course is hands-on, so there is a classroom and theory part where they will provide manuals and written information about the materials.
He adds they’ll spend a lot of time doing scenario work because it’s a great way to ingrain the knowledge and get hands-on experience.
The course will run from May 2nd to 5th. They are hoping to have at least 12 people registered. If you’d like to register, click here.
