• minimum of 2 First Responders, EMR’s or PCP’s to provide coverage this Saturday and Sunday at the Port Coquitlam Rec Centre from 0700 to 1700.

“This type of event requires a high level of experience due to the risk associated with competitive Speedskating. Our people would be assisting a Physician that has volunteered for the event. Having a Physician at the event is also one of the Association’s requirements due to the potential for very serious injuries resulting from collisions involving skaters and the super sharp blades that they wear.”
