Support of First Responders
The South Saskatchewan First Responder Coordinator Committee has hosted
its 10th annual First Responder development weekend on Jan 29 - 31, 2010.
This weekend has been set up to help First Responders from
across the province maintain their minimum level of training and introduce
them to some new skills. These skills may be used in any emergency situation
the First Responder may encounter.
First Responders are true dedicated volunteers in the
community who give freely of themselves in emergency situations. They are
from all areas of the province and they may show up at a pipeline accident,
power pole down, motor vehicle collision, medical crisis, fire standby or
special event first aid stations. They respond to any emergency or potential
emergency that may arise.
First Responders are the first line of help in a crisis
and are usually on scene within 10 minutes of receiving the call. Often they
are required to help friends and neighbours until the ambulance arrives.
These dedicated volunteers depend on the generosity and
help of local fund raising to support their groups. The local health Regions
also provide support to the First Responder groups in the form of in-service
training, disposable supplies and cooperative group pricing. This varies
from health region to health region and is of course subject to available
funding within a given region. These are true volunteers who are not paid
for their efforts and often costs them to respond (i.e. *vehicle mileage,
gas, time away from work, etc.).
This is why we look for support for our true dedicated volunteers.
In order to help offset some of the cost of this
development weekend and to decrease the financial burden on our First
Responder groups we are actively looking to corporate sponsorship. We have
developed several sponsorship packages. Any support is welcome. Depending on
the amount of your contribution your corporate name will be displayed
prominently at the various venues. Trade show displays are also welcome.
These groups are worthy of your support. We are asking for
your assistance for this event. Please review the corporate packages, and at
you earliest convenience, and respond with the
intended amount of your contribution.
Thank you for your contribution to this project.
