Join us for a free evening presentation and Q & A with one of Canada's leading expert in Outdoor Risk Management. Jon Heshka, (B.Sc., B.A., B.Ed., M.E.d, LL.M, Associate Dean of Law from Thompson River’s University)

Great for individuals that lead trips.

It will change the way you think about managing risk when you organize events/take groups out. The legal risk management issues in outdoor recreation, which includes hiking, backpacking, rock climbing, mountain climbing, skiing/snowboarding (alpine, Nordic, AT, etc.), running, racing and cycling. Basically anything you can do outside to have fun and invigorate your spirit. Risk management is about planning, organizing, directing and controlling uncertainty(falling rocks, etc…)

Topics that may be covered may range from:

- Legal Releases and Waivers.
- Risk Management vs. Safety Planning
- Risk Tolerance and Acceptable Exposure
- Decision Making and Leadership
- Emergency Response Planning.
- Contracted Service Providers
- Evolving Risk Management Thinking

There is a lot of misinformation out there so come and learn from the best.
