Hello All,

The ground SAR Team Leader is one of the key personnel in any search team. They are responsible not only for the safety of the team, but also the completion of the search objectives set by the Search Manager.

Accordingly a Team Leader must be capable and trained to fulfill their mission.

The Advanced Team Leader (Wilderness) course being offered by Foothills SAR is a grant course through the OFC and thus open to all qualified Alberta SAR groups. We are seeking applicants for the course which runs for two evenings Thursday August 22 and 23 followed by 3 days in the mountains and foothills in southern Alberta. Course participants must [http://www.missioncontrol.co.nz/itm/Event_Master_Item_Public.aspx?ID=5398 apply via ITM] and have the blessing of their team executive. 
This course is evaluated and each successful candidate will be awarded a certificate.

The {{link|Image:FSAR ATL 2013 (1).pdf|attached brochure}} describes the basic content.

Applicants will be asked to describe their outdoor background and skills. Since the number of candidates is limited, the students will be chosen from the overall pool of applicants.

The course has received rave reviews from those who have taken it over the past 8 years.

Please pass along this message to your group or training coordinator so you can take advantage of this offering.

Regards
: Lyn Michaud
