Taking caring of our guests

Every three years each guide has to re-certify their Wilderness First Aid Certification in order to remain current.  For lead guides this involves a 80-90 hour training taken over 2 weeks.  This usually takes place in the Fall or Winter in some of the wettest, muddiest conditions that British Columbia has to offer.  Certifying bodies include 'Wilderness Alert' and 'Slipstream Wilderness First Aid'  This is what Coastal Bliss Adventures owner / guide Georgia Newsome will  be doing through 'Slipstream', in Victoria, for the next two weeks, in addition to fitness preparation for hiking the North Coast Trail.
