They can speak on a variety of topics, or focus on a subject of particular relevance to your organization.

What basic equipment do I need to be able to perform a safe and effective surface ice rescue?

February 1, 2012

This is one of the questions our instructors get all the time from our students.  As such we thought we might write something up to be used as a reference and help point you in the right direction.

Basic Ice Safety

Every winter season, there are countless ice rescue incidents throughout Canada involving people, domestic pets, and livestock. So before you venture out on frozen lakes, ponds, rivers or creeks, review these basic guidelines. If you work on surface ice, be sure to review the federal Safety Guide for Operations Over Ice found elsewhere on this page.

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.
