2012-02 SAR Fundamentals/Follow up details

Here's the information you will need for the first weekend of the course.

John, as I haven't received contact details for the people you forwarded, I'm relying on you to pass on this information to: Jamie Fox, Ivan Healey, Leon Youngpine, Terrance Bottle, Brett Healy, and Lawrence Mistakenchief.

We meet at 18:00 (6 pm) - 21:30 (9:30 pm) at the MD Meeting room. All students are expected to be on time.

The MD Meeting Room is in the basement of the MD Building (753 Kettles Street, Pincher Creek).

From Highway 3, Turn south onto Highway 6 at Pincher Station. Continue straight south into Pincher Creek. Go straight through the roundabout (traffic circle). As you come out of the roundabout (south) this is Hewetson Ave. Continue straight, descending a hill, crossing a bridge, and coming to a 4-way stop. Turn left (east on Main Street). Continue straight to the next 4-way stop (at the 7-11). Turn right (south on Police Ave), and right again (west on Kettles Street). The MD Building is the first building on the right (north). You can access the meeting room from the side (east) entrance.

Saturday and Sunday are from 09:00 (9 am) to 17:00 (5 pm). Lunches are provided.

During the weekend, if you are unable to attend or have problems, leave a message on .... Prior or between course weekends e-mail wuth@acm.org or call 403 627-2460.

Bring clothes so that you can be both outside in the weather for up to 4 and a half hours and at other times inside a classroom. The best approach is to use layers that you can put on and take off. Make sure you bring enough to keep yourself warm.

Both the trainers and the students are members of various emergency organizations. Either may be called away to respond to an emergency. For instance, during the 2010 course we were called to an avalanche. If such a situation arises we may suspend portions of this training and reschedule them.
