The CAOC (Calgary Area Outdoor Council) is putting on fully subsidized Remote Responder Wilderness First Aid courses and the ACC has been able to secure a course date for 4 of our members. The course, taught by Rocky Mountain Adventure Medicine, is designed for the day adventurer or group member who recreates in a wilderness setting. The course is based on standard first aid principles with a focus on back-country situations, and features one day of outside scenario simulations. You can find more info on their website www.adventuremed.ca/responder.htm or email Andy Strangemann at investra@shaw.ca Day 1: June 5th, 2010, 9:00am – 5:00pm, Calgary Area Outdoor Council (indoors) Day 2: June 6th, 2010, 9:00am – 5:00pm, Calgary Area Outdoor Council (indoors) Day 3: June 12th, 2010, 9:00am – 5:00pm, Bragg Creek Provincial Park

*Cancellation Policy*: If a participant is unable to attend a paid course or trip, there will be no refund unless the participant finds a suitable replacement that is acceptable to the trip coordinator. Acceptable waiting list candidates will have priority. It will then be the participant's responsibility to recover funds from the replacement. If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons. The Calgary Section of the ACC is a not for profit club and we only charge attendees what it costs us to provide courses or trips.
