Safety in the Field – Swiftwater Rescue and Awareness

 

Safety is Ecofish’s #1 priority and ongoing safety training is core to our safety program.  In early June, the Ecofish crew enjoyed an action packed weekend on the Chilliwack River getting recertified in swiftwater rescue training.  The course was a great refresher for our team, focusing on identifying risks and mitigating hazards in a dynamic swiftwater environment.  Our team left the Chilliwack River confident in our abilities to work safely and effectively in and around swiftwater environments and we feel prepared to take on new challenges as they come our way.  A big thank you to the instructors at Rescue Canada for their guidance and expertise!
