Mandate

The Training Committee is responsible for organizing training opportunities for Pincher SAR members. These include monthly training activities at the regular meeting (1st Tuesday of the month from 19:15-21:00). They also include other training activities through out the year (such as a minimum of 2 mocks a year). The Training Committee is responsible to organize a SAR Fundamentals course once a year.

The committee members are not expected to perform the training, but rather to arrange for people who can do the training.

Resources

In order to carry out its mandate, the Training Committee may access the resources on the main Training page.

Communications

The training committee lets members and others know about training opportunities in the following ways.

• In person, at the start of our regular 1st Tuesday of the month training sessions

• On the PCSAR website calendar

Via e-mail to one or more of the following e-mail lists:

• PCSAR Announce - Mail to this list goes to all our members plus any other that have signed up because they want to know about our events. Use this mailing list unless the training announcement is confidential to our members. If the RCMP liaison isn't already a PCSAR members, they'll generally be on this list.
• PCSAR Members - Use this list if the training announcement is only targeted to our members, and we don't want it distributed more widely. For instance, if another organization is offering training just for our members, this list would be appropriate.
• SARA Training Coordinators - This list forwards e-mails to all the training coordinators of all the SAR groups in the province, plus anyone else who wants to sign up. Use this list for training announcements that you want to have wide distribution. Training that we put on which is provincially funded generally should be advertised to all SAR Alberta groups using this list. Messages from this list is automatically forwarded to all the members of the training committee. But to send a message to the list, you need to sign up as an individual.

Occasionally a PCSAR event will be advertised in the local paper(s).

The training committee maintains contact with the training coordinator/committee in neighbouring SAR groups. This is both to let them know about what training we are offering and to find out what training they have going on, so we can let our members know of the opportunities. The neighbouring SAR groups that are regularly contacted, are:

• CNP SAR (SARA info SARA membership record)
• Lethbridge SAR (SARA info SARA membership record)
  • website: http://www.lasara.org
• The Lethbridge chapter of CSDA (SARA info, SARA membership record)
  • website: http://canadiansearchdog.com

Meetings

Meetings are the 1st Tuesday of each month immediately after the regular training at the Fire Hall, usually starting around 21:00.

• 2011: 12-06
• 2012: 01-03, 02-07, 03-06, 04-03, 05-01, 12-04
