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

endurance than typical first aid training.

Once you have made the payment you will be

list
to the participant list. As the ACC is paying on
a
per participant basis, once you are registered,
we
would only allow a cancellation if we have
someone
that can take your place.
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.
Trip Feedback If you have any feedback, positive or negative, concerning this trip or any other, we want to hear from you! You can send any feedback you may have to the Section Chair.
