We provide training in the following areas:

ORCA Canoe Training, is to promote the development of safe, competent and knowledgeable recreational paddlers in Ontario. This is done using a national program of paddling courses from beginners’ Flatwater to Canoe Tripping Level 1 and 2.

Advanced Wilderness First Aid Training, differs from traditional first aid in three respects. First transport times are measured in hours or days rather than in minutes. Consequently, many phases of patient care that usually occurs in the hospital must be treated out in the field. Second, severe environments dramatically increase the complexity in an emergency and heighten the risk to the patients and rescuers. third, limited equipment makes improvisation and resourcefulness essential skills.  (under construction)

PMAB Training, Prevention and Management of Aggressive Behaviour  is a safe, non-harmful behaviour management system designed to aid staff members working and caring for youth who experience difficulty in controlling their behaviour. 

Red Cross First Aid, it pays. The federal and provincial regulations demand that a certain number of your employees are trained in first aid. Today, employers across the country are discovering that it pays to meet - or even exceed - these legislative requirements with Red Cross First Aid. Research shows that just by participating in a First Aid course, employees become more aware of potential dangers, and reduce their risk of personal injury by up to 40%.
