Our Zone is one of sixty-two from across the country; it is comprised of three separate volunteer patrols serving different areas. The Dagmar, Lakeridge, and Kawartha Nordic Patrols provide service to the snow sliding public. Additionally, we have a patrol dedicated to other athletic events that we call our Summer Event Patrol; this group services events such as marathons, bike racing and speed skating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-CA\" style=\"margin: 0px;color: #242222;font-family: 'Myriad Pro',sans-serif\">To those looking to join the Canadian Ski Patrol for the first time, you are embarking on quite an adventure. A Federal Minister once said that the Canadian Ski Patrol was the best nationally based provider of first-aid and rescue services in the country next to the military. The CSP will provide you an opportunity to develop first-aid and on-snow technical skills second to none. You will become part of a team capable of working with not only CSP members from across the country but with other groups of First Responders and EMS personnel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-CA\" style=\"margin: 0px;color: #242222;font-family: 'Myriad Pro',sans-serif\">However, if you ask veteran patrollers why they return year after year, it is because of the camaraderie and the friendships. Once again, on behalf of all of us: Welcome!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-CA\" style=\"margin: 0px;color: #242222;font-family: 'Myriad Pro',sans-serif\">On Behalf of the Kawartha Zone Executive,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-CA\" style=\"margin: 0px;color: #242222;font-family: 'Myriad Pro',sans-serif\">Mark Crone, President<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thank you for showing interest in the Canadian Ski Patrol, Kawartha Zone&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4499,"featured_media":2111,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.skipatrol.ca\/kawartha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.skipatrol.ca\/kawartha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.skipatrol.ca\/kawartha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.skipatrol.ca\/kawartha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4499"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.skipatrol.ca\/kawartha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.skipatrol.ca\/kawartha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8101,"href":"https:\/\/www.skipatrol.ca\/kawartha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25\/revisions\/8101"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.skipatrol.ca\/kawartha\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.skipatrol.ca\/kawartha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.skipatrol.ca\/kawartha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.skipatrol.ca\/kawartha\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
