What's it about?

HIKING! It's all about hiking, in the southwest of BC!

Did you know 50% of all hiking search and rescue occur in the southwest?

We're pleased to have author, and avid hiker, Stephen Hui join us to celebrate hiking, safety and his new book (that was 3 years in the making) which highlights these popular regions:

North Shore
Sea to Sky
Fraser Valley
Coquihalla
Manning Park
Sunshine Coast
Gulf Islands
Nanaimo
Bellingham
Mount Baker
and more!

Participants will learn about personal preparedness for the outdoors, safe activities and practices, to help reduce the number and severity of search and rescue incidents.

What topics will be covered?
~ Trip Planning - making a plan and leaving a trip plan.
~ Training - physical, certification-based, mentorship, mental strength, decision making.
~ Taking Essentials - basic safety items, plus adding season and sport-specific gear.
~ What to do in an emergency.
