Our Company

Our Company

We are the Official Agent for Rescue 3 International in Western Canada. Rescue 3 is the recognized world leader in technical rescue training for swiftwater, rope, helicopter and ice. Through our affiliation with Rescue 3, we are able to provide certifications that are NFPA compliant and recognized as the “standard-of-care”, or recommended training, in Canada and around the world.

Our Approach

We believe there is a certain set of skills and knowledge that everyone needs to know if they are working in high-risk environments like moving water and surface ice. You need to know how to evaluate a location for potential risks, how to work safely in the environment, and what to do if yourself or a colleague gets in trouble.

Our instructors are all highly operational, meaning they routinely work in high-risk environments including swiftwater and surface ice and they utilize technical rope systems on a regular basis. As first responders, they are constantly using the skills they teach and are up-to-date on the latest developments in rescue theory and practice. In addition, all our instructors all have great personalities, teaching ability and a dedication to customer service.

Raven Rescue Expands into Eastern Canada

Raven Rescue will begin providing courses in Eastern Canada in spring 2010.

our approach

We believe training should be tailored to the specific needs of each client. While we teach all the skills and knowledge necessary for certification, we approach a course for emergency personnel in an entirely different manner than one for resource managers or outdoor guides.
