Wilderness First Aid

Several Junior Forest Wardens, leaders and parents got to take a Wilderness First Aid course in February near Meadow Lake. Instructor Steve Pollock provided a top-notch course, with many examples from his years in EMS and the military. Thanks, Steve, for a good course and a weekend well spent.

Special thanks to Mr & Mrs Buxton, whose hunting lodge we stayed in. We also appreciated the good food provided by the participants (or their parents!)

We learned some new skills, some new ideas about being prepared for emergencies large or small, and some new ways of thinking about being safe in the outdoors. We also had a lot of fun. Have a look at the photos!
