Safety Now!
This program, covering both Alpine and Nordic skiing, has
been developed in Mountain Division to communicate a message on ski safety.
Its target
audience is children between 5 and 12 years of age.
The presentation lasts 45 minutes, is in lecture format using props, with a video called ‘Look Good. Ski Safe’. A short examination is given at the end.
The talk covers conditioning, equipment, clothing, frostbite, nutrition, lifts, hill markings, snow, skier responsibility, buddy system and what to do at an accident scene.
The Zone Safety Officers arrange and give the course in many schools across the Division.
Further information is available by contacting Division VP Safety .
SNOWSMART
A joint venture of the CSPS, CAA, Parks Canada and the Smartrisk
Foundation, the program is aimed at students in Grades 7 and 10.
It is an hour in
length and addresses risk evaluation and reduction. Unlike Safety Now!,
this presentation is given mainly by teachers. It focuses on increasing
awareness that risk is involved in winter sports, supporting learned
skills, encouraging students to make smart choices and seek further
training. SnowSmart web page.
Avalanche Awareness
A 1-hour safety talk to high school students. The
goal of this program is to create an awareness of the risks associated
with traveling in uncontrolled
avalanche terrain and instill in them a sense of personal responsibility
about choices regarding ‘out of bounds’ areas or those closed
due to avalanche danger. The video ‘Use it or Lose it’ is
part of the presentation and incorporates the Snowsmart risk management.
It's a No-Brainer; No it's Jello Brain!
A great hit at safety days this year has been the ‘Jell-O Brain’.
Four Zones are using them to educate the public about head injuries and
the wearing of helmets. We have obtained full sized moulds and the process
of producing a brain is easy. The kids love it, especially as it can be
made in a myriad of colours and flavours!
Jell-O brain moulds cost approximately $20.00 each and are available from the University of Calgary Medical Bookstore…phone: 403 220 4737
Tony the Toque
Mountain Division now has another Tony, complete with
helmet! He is a tad smaller
than the first one and so a little easier to transport. Our original
has been
given a helmet and will be sent up to Yukon Zone. Having their own will
save time and money. Keep him warm up there!
