River
rescue and safety courses
Whether
you do day-trips or extended expeditions, everyone should possess the skills
needed for both self-rescue and to assist others in an emergency situation.
Our river rescue and safety course will not only acquaint you with simple ways
to keep yourself and others out of trouble, but will also teach you the skills
needed to assess and respond to a rescue situation quickly and effectively.
Our river rescue and safety course teaches self-rescue by helping you to recognize problem situations. You will also learn about the equipment that you will need for weekend or month long trips. Rope techniques such as tag-lines and pig-rigs will be used and practiced so you can set them up quickly and efficiently when needed. In addition to personnel rescue and safety, retrieving pinned canoes and kayaks will also be practiced.
All our courses are conducted by Certified Swiftwater Rescue Technicians.
Course date: June 24 (evening orientation in Winnipeg), June 26 and 27 at Cook's Falls on the Whitemouth River. Please call for details. This course is taught in conjunction with Paddle Manitoba.
Course cost: $195 (Can), $135 (US)
