Building Skills, Building Safety!

Over the past week, members from across Bimose Tribal Council communities have been hard at work completing their SP-100 Wildland Firefighter training, alongside chainsaw operation, WHMIS, and first aid courses. The initiative was put together by Bimose's Technical Services Department.

These skills are critical for protecting our communities during wildfire season and beyond - and it's inspiring to see so many people stepping up to build their knowledge and strengthen our collective preparedness. Not only does this training equip participants with the tools to respond safely and effectively, it also fosters nation-to-nation support and teamwork across our region.

A huge congratulations to everyone who took part and dedicated their time to keeping our communities safe. Your efforts make a real difference!

We would like to thank Murray Macquarrie at Specialty Services Agency, Fin and Feather Lodge for hosting and the entire team at the Dryden Fire Management Headquarters.
