  • The Canadian Ski Patrol: Probing the Potential for Change
    THE CANADIAN SKI PATROL: PROBING THE POTENTIAL FOR CHANGE By ELEANOR MUNNOCH CULVER BA, University of Western Ontario, 1989 A Thesis in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS In LEADERSHIP We accept this Thesis as conforming to the required standard ……………………………………….. Colin Saravanamuttoo, BEng, Organizational Sponsor ……………………………………….. Catherine Etmanski, PhD, Thesis Supervisor ………………………………………. Eugene Kowch, PhD, External Reviewer ………………………………………. Brigitte Harris, PhD, Committee Chair ROYAL ROADS UNIVERSITY May 2014 © Eleanor Munnoch Culver, 2014 Probing the Potential 2 ABSTRACT The Canadian Ski Patrol (CSP) Calgary Zone is one segment of a national volunteer-driven organisation of first-aid providers. In recent years, the number of active patrollers in the CSP Calgary Zone has declined while client expectations of service levels have not. Within the bounds of the Royal Roads University (2011) Research Ethics Policy, and through the use of an online survey and an open space technology session, this action research inquiry determined some of the ways in which the CSP Calgary Zone might enhance its organisational adaptability to ensure its future viability. Study results indicated a high latent potential for organisational adaptability within the CSP Calgary Zone. Overarching recommendations included (a) initiate service model discussions with clients and constituents; (b) examine organisational structures related to policies and processes; and (c) create a volunteer development path, including a performance feedback mechanism. Probing the Potential 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS All that I am⎯my curiosity, my love of learning, my work ethic, my optimism, my everything⎯I owe to those who came before me. If this process has taught me anything, it is that we are all connected and concurrent learners, interdependent upon one another for our physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing.

  • Dr Rowena Christiansen - Personal Report Regarding FIPS Congress Held at Big White Ski Resort, Canada March-April 2014
    Dr Rowena Christiansen - Personal Report regarding FIPS Congress held at Big White Ski Resort, Canada March-April 2014 Index: 1. Introduction (p.1); 2. Summary of US and Canadian ‘Green Season’ activities which were mentioned (p.1); 3. Summary of presentations given at the Congress (pp.2-19); and 4. Pictures and comments re promotional materials distributed at Congress (pp.20-29). 1. Introduction I recently represented ASPA and Mt Baw Baw Alpine Resort at this congress. I attended all scheduled presentation sessions as well as two meetings of the FIPS Medical Group (to decide the future direction of the Group and the medical theme for the next FIPS Congress in Italy in 2016) and a meeting of the FIPS Avalanche Group (to discuss the future direction of the Group and information sharing). This report is designed to highlight information from the congress which may be of interest to Australian ski patrollers. Scheduled Congress activities took place from the evening of Saturday 29 March (dinner) to the morning of Saturday 5 April (breakfast). Scheduled presentation sessions were held on five of these days, and the Wednesday was a ‘free day’ for delegates. A total of 22 major presentations were delivered. In addition, a number of country-based introductions and presentations were made at various times during scheduled sessions. On the final day reports were received from the three special interest groups – FIPS Medical, FIPS Avalanche and FIPS Technology. Three on-snow activities were held – a set of group- response first aid scenarios, an avalanche simulation and rescue training exercise and a team- based sled handling ‘race’.

  • 153 Canadian Ski Patrol System's Public Education
    153 CANADIAN SKI PATROL SYSTEM'S PUBLIC EDUCATION PROGRAMS IN AVALANCHE AWARENESS Peter B. Spear Canadian Ski Patrol System, Calgary, Alberta Introduction The Canadian Ski Patrol System (CSPS) in Alberta and British Columbia helps to educate downhill and nordic skiers, ski mountaineers, outdoor club members, snowmobilers, various government employees, and rescue group members in the various aspects of safe winter travel in avalanche terrain. The CSPS is celebrating its 40th year of service to the Canadian skiing public since its inception by Dr. Douglas Firth. At present there are over 4,000 active members in more than 50 zones across Canada. In addition to our extensive training and experience in first aid and accident handling, we are involved in accident prevention by promoting safe skiing practices in downhill and nordic aras, operating free binding testing clinics, and providing educational programs in avalanche safety. The avalanche safety program in the CSPS started in the Calgary, Alberta area in the early 1960's under the leadership of Brad Geisler, a National Ski Patrol System (NSPS) member from Arapahoe Basin, Colorado. He combined his talents with Russ Bradley of Calgary who had extensive ski mountaineering experience. These two men developed their snowcraft know~edge and shared this with many of the present CSPS avalanche instructors w~th the assistance of Parks Canada personnel and Peter Schaerer of the National Research Council. One or more of the avalanche instructors in the CSPS has attended all major avalanche symposiums in North America held during the last ten years to further increase the CSPS base of knowledge on avalanche research Drograms pertinent to our needs.
