2009 Leave No Trace Canada--Alberta Master Trainer Course
Teaching Outdoor Ethics and Skills
EMAIL Paddle Alberta IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ATTENDING A COURSE in SUMMER 2009
This is a canoe-based MASTER TRAINER course on the North Saskatchewan River near
Rocky Mountain House. You will learn how to Train others to be Trainers in the Leave No Trace principles and practices
as applied to paddling-related activities in and around natural water environments.
After the course, you can provide Trainer Sessions to others who can in turn provide awareness level sessions to their Paddle Alberta Members and the public.
On this Trainer Course, you will be canoe tripping on the North Saskatchewan River near Rocky Mountain House; thus you must bring your own paddling equipment and food, and everything you will need to trip on the river. You will be responsible for your own transportation to and from the course. Consider car pooling. This Course is subsidized by Paddle Alberta for Paddle Alberta Members.
Help your paddling organization contribute to protecting your paddling environment. Register early as their is a limit.
