Schedule
You can find out about scheduled training on the Calendar.
Typically we have a 2.5 hour training session on the first Tuesday of each month from 19:00 to 21:30 at the fire hall. Usually there is a daytime training event once a month on a weekend. During the summer months SAR hikes are scheduled.
Typical year
Each year we typically run similar training at the same time of the year. Something like the following (but check the Calendar for this year's schedule):
- April - Equipment orientation. The location and operation of the equipment in the possession of PCSAR. Proper transport, set up and protocols and procedures for equipment use
- May - Rope and Knot exercise
- June - GPS exercise
- July - mid-month training replaced by a barbeque.
- August - outdoor training
- September - indoor training
- October - Annual General Meeting replaces training at regular meeting. SAR Fundamentals first weekend.
- November - SAR Fundamentals second weekend. Mock search.
- December - indoor training as weather is unpredictable
