Itinerary:

Inroads Mountain Sports (www.inroads.ca) of Hinton, Alberta, offers in the bush, hands on, Wilderness First Aid courses. It is a 25 hour credit course, and Certification is through St. John Ambulance.

I want this training for myself, and the course requires a minimum of 5 participants. Priority will be offered to EOC coordinators, and they will also receive a discount on their fees. The payment deadline is short, so I can open the course up to more people if the interest (and the money!) is there.

ALL PARTICIPANTS MUST HAVE A VALID STANDARD FIRST AID CERIFICATE TO TAKE THIS COURSE.

The cost includes meals, accommodation (indoors at Blue Lake Centre, Blue Lake Centre), instruction, books and materials and your Certificate upon completion.

We will be finished the course by 4pm on Sunday.

Required Items to Bring:
Clothes for the weather. We will be outside most of the day.
A day pack with your daily "goodies" is necessary.
sleeping bag
pillow
towel and toiletries

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
snacks Friday night. Please eat supper before arriving.

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

Blue Lake Centre is 20 minutes north of Hinton on hiway 40 (toward Grande Cache). Once you are in William Switzer Park watch for the sign on the right.

Carpool to Event Distance (round trip):

400Km

Carpool Departure Time:

4:00 PM

Carpool Location:

Carpool Directions:

Carpool Cost:

The event coordinator(s) will help you to arrange a centralized carpool if you require it, but it's not guaranteed. Please DO NOT pay your driver en route. Passengers will pay the coordinator, and he/she will distribute the money to the carpool drivers. SO PLEASE BRING CASH!!! Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $116.00 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Sunday, April 28, 2024). This is based on $0.09/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divided by 9. This cost will be multiplied by the number of carpooled cars, and divided by the number of carpool participants.

Notes:

- Registration is NOT COMPLETE until you've signed up and paid by the registration cut off date. The money must be in the EOC's possession by that date. No exceptions.
- When a minimum group size appears, this is to let you know that the event will be cancelled with refunds to those who have already paid, if the minimum number of registered participants is not met. For any events where EOC needs a minimum number of participants, there will be absolutely no refunds of money if you cancel.
- We encourage all members to follow our Etiquette Guidelines at all times while participating in EOC events.
