Is it time for you to get your first aid again
and want to add a wilderness component? Here is
your opportunity to take a course alongside
your fellow ACCers! The training and Leadership
Committee is organizing a Wilderness & Remote
First Aid course through the Canadian Red Cross
for our trip leaders. This basic level
Wilderness & Remote First Aid course covers the
material in the standard first aid & CPR, plus
special material on techniques for wilderness
