The Department of Culture & Lands Protection organized a three day Wilderness First Aid training at Stagg River. NARWAL trained staff to manage medical emergency scenarios in the wilderness and to administer first aid, basic survival skills, extended care and evacuations.  This course included emergency prevention, assessment and treatment of environmental, trauma and medical issues that occur in a wilderness setting. The training mixed in classroom lectures with hands on problem solving exercises; it with as a great learning opportunity for our Department, the weather was great and everyone had a lot of fun practicing indoor/outdoor survival skills.

“I really enjoyed all the hands-on training, it was an amazing experience.  This course really made me aware of my environment and my abilities.  The location site really enables you to be in the wild, yet close to the community. In the photo above was my first attempt in starting a fire without a lighter or matches, I have used a knife and a flint,  a fantastic course that teaches life-long skills” –Joline Huskey, Lands Administrative Officer
