This course is now a legal requirement from Transport Canada, for anyone transporting more than 6 clients in a boat. However, to offer this course in Yukon is expensive as instructors must be brought up from BC. Therefore I am looking for expressions of interest from you. If you have staff that require this training, and would be interested in sending them on the course, please let me know how many people you would sign up, and which season would be best (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter). There is a possibility that instructors may be up in early July, so please could you also indicate if this is a feasible time for you.</p><p>Please reply via email to Chris at [email protected]</p><p>Yukon Wild Membership</p><p>Are you a member of Yukon Wild yet?
