WMC Winter Update




Well, we hope everyone has been out enjoying the winter. This is “supposed” to be our slow time but the demands for custom course keep rolling in! At WMC, we started the New Year with a visit to Bragg Creek (outside Calgary) to run a workshop for the Rural Alberta Family Medicine Residents. Following this, a week up at Sol Mountain Lodge to visit with friends, ski and certify the staff in CPR and wilderness first aid.

We are attending the WMS winter meeting in Park City, Utah, next week and then a custom course for the Bow Valley Kayak Club in Canmore. Then a custom course for the Department of Oceans & Fisheries on the West Coast, followed by a course for the medical students in Edmonton. Pretty soon our regular spring course schedule will be up and running. A lot of bookings have been coming in so it is looking like a fun and busy spring! We are also training several new instructors to add to our team. Enjoy the rest of the winter, looks like more snow on the way!
