Training!
The training program of the Canadian Ski Patrol
System (CSPS) is among the highest standards for volunteers in Canada. Our own
volunteer training staff conducts all the CSPS training. These members have
several years of patrol experience supplemented with specialized instruction at
provincially conducted workshops. CSPS first aid training meets the
requirements for a Class 'A' Certification in accordance with the Saskatchewan
Occupational Health and Safety Act. The first aid classes are scheduled to
start - time and place to be announced.
First Aid - To become a member of the
CSPS you will be required to complete our comprehensive first aid course. The
first aid training consists of approximately 40 hours of instruction and skills
practice; candidates must pass (75%) a nationally set of written and practical
exam.
CPR - All members of the CSPS receive
training in the skills of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) according to the
national standards set by the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation.
On Hill / On Trail - The Patrol training
includes instruction on toboggan handling techniques, accident management and
lift evacuation.
