    Public Courses
    Group:
    General

    This is a public course that is also open to HRSAR volunteers. It is  a combination of classroom and practical field exercises. The morning will be spent learning the tools and the afternoon applying them in a scenic location in the woods. You’ll need a GPS and spare batteries, boots that will keep your feet dry and warm, layered clothing (no cotton or jeans), and a wind / water outer layer. The course coordinator, Ben Garvey, has years of experience using GPS units on land and at sea.

    Participants must be a minimum 12 years of age (those under age 16 must be accompanied by a adult that is also taking the course)  Participants should understand how to use a map & compass before they take this course.

    This course is a fundraiser for HRSAR. It costs 40$ for the public and 10$ for current NSGSAR volunteers.  To register or to ask any questions you might have please contact maps@halifaxsar.ca

    There are registration forms and a course poster here in the section “Workshops”: http://halifaxsar.ca/downloads/
