Haida Gwaii Recreation is excited to offer another 5-day Wilderness First Aid (WFA) or 40hr Red Cross course this October with instructor Maryanne W.
With thanks to a local program donor committed to keeping some fleeting grant funds on-island to help upskill Haida Gwaii residents, this course (valued at over $750) will be FREE; however, it requires full attendance and $200 non-refundable deposit to secure a spot. It will be held in Masset. Registration will open at the end of the month and will be residents only, ages 19+, and a brief blurb expressing your interest in using this cert to support local operations (camps, rec programs, contract employment, kayaking business) required. We are trying our best to support the organizations and individuals without paid work or budgets for this training.
???? October 17–21 (5-day course)
⏰ Full attendance is mandatory
???? 10 seats available (19+ yrs)
???? Priority will be given to those working/volunteering in the recreation & tourism sector — especially those not already funded by their workplace to take training.
???? Cost: $200/person — refunded after full completion of the course.
⚠️ Non-refundable if cancelled outside of HG Rec’s cancellation policy.
This is a rare chance to become Wilderness First Aid certified without leaving the Islands at the lowest cost yet — ideal for recreation leaders, tour operators, guides, camp counsellors, and locals who spend time in remote environments.
A very big Haawa Laura B, who made sure this opportunity could happen. She was also the same person who made sure HG Rec got funding for the Red Cross supplies many moons ago. ????
