Our 2023 – 2024 Patrolling Season is Now OPEN!

Registration is now open for all returning patrollers and individuals wishing to JOIN the CSP Kawartha Zone.

To all patrollers and potential recruits,

Regarding Covid protocols: Directions from our National Office, Ontario Division, and our Zone recommends that all on-duty patrollers be fully vaccinated (two doses). We have a duty of care to protect our skiing public, resort staff and our patrollers; this includes reducing risk of injury to all parties, and as long as the prevalence of Covid-19 and its variants continue to pose a danger to everyone, the best mitigation is full vaccination.

As such, everyone is welcome to register in our Zone; however, all on-patrol activities (administering First Aid, in-class and on-snow training, ski swaps, etc.) will be determined by the guidelines established at the resorts level.

Please click the appropriate registration button below:
