- | Formatting changes are too extensive to identify changes this way. But save this method for next year.

| + | |
- | | + | |
- | Major changes:
| + | |
- | * "Increasing the capability of Alberta's search and rescue communities to respond to ground and inland searches".
| + | |
- | ** No longer "disaster, emergencies and searches"
| + | |
- | * Eligible entities are '''volunteer'''
| + | |
- | * Groups no longer have to be members of SAR Alberta
| + | |
- | * Fax number removed, but still says may fax.
| + | |
- | * January 15 submission deadline instead of September 30.
| + | |
- | * Avoids explaining process to amend budget or change designated course
| + | |
- | * Extensions/changes cannot be made after April 1, used to be May 31
| + | |
- | ** suggests that courses scheduled for April or May are riskier, in that if last minute changes are needed (e.g. instructor sickness), there is no way to get an extension.
| + | |
- | * UTV course dropped
| + | |
- | ** might be considered part of ATV
| + | |
- | * "Innovative" "Search and Rescue Training" category changed to "specialized"
| + | |
- | ** may duplicate "Specialized Technical" or relax requirements
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | Of note (not changes)
| + | |
- | * student travel is ineligible
| + | |
- | ** But form says may be accepted. We listed $700 last year for SAR Basics, but got only a part of our course total, much less than would be accounted for by this number.
| + | |
- | * course may start as soon as Minister signs (Not April 1 as thought).
