Private Consultation for Outdoor and Rescue Programs

Get tailored risk management and program design support from senior instructors

From river operations to outdoor education program delivery, our senior instructors help organizations turn risk management principles into clear, practical systems.

Pair this private, organization-specific consultation with any in-person Boreal River Rescue course (public or group), and schedule it before or after your course — whichever best supports your needs.

What we work on

  • Program risk management review, hazard ID, controls, decision points, rescue plans; pragmatic, field-ready improvements.
  • Designing or refreshing a program: scope, staffing, training pathways, SOPs, gear lists, site selection, emergency response plans.
  • Regulatory compliance check: align practices with workplace regulations and standards; produce a prioritized action list and documentation for internal review.
  • Post-course implementation: convert new skills into procedures, briefings, and drills that teams will actually follow.

How it works

  1. Intake (10-20 minutes): quick survey or call to define scope and priorities; we then match you with the best-fit senior expert.
  2. Scheduling: book your sessions before or after your course; we'll align timing to your goals.
  3. Deep work: up to 5 hours of background research, review, and drafting by your consultant (including outreach to subject-matter experts as needed).
  4. Working sessions3 x 60 or 2 x 90 minutes to align decisions, review drafts, and finalize; recordings and summary notes available on request.
  5. Wrap-up: receive your agreed deliverables and a short implementation plan. If the size of your organization or the scope requires more time, we'll recommend and confirm it first; additional hours are billed at CA$200/hour.

We're not legal counsel, but we can help you interpret requirements, benchmark best practices, and prepare clear defensible documentation.
