2015/16 Orientation Report

20 Jan 2015/16 Orientation Report

Due to the lack of snow, the sessions we moved indoors to introduced new volunteers to both the adaptive equipment and techniques use in our programs covering sit-ski, teaching aids, outriggers for three and four track skiing, working with students with cognitive impairment, as well as discussions on duty of care and best practices when volunteering to help people with disability.

Thank you to Brian Smith and Rob Ogden from the Snow Valley program that helped to facilitate the indoor sessions.
