ABOUT OUR ORGANIZATION<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In 1941, a young Toronto osteopath named Dr. Douglas Firth was asked by the Canadian Amateur Ski Association to organize and train a first aid and rescue group to patrol the ski hills. Since then, this non-profit\/charitable organization has continued to grow along with the Canadian snow-sliding industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Canadian Ski Patrol membership is 5,000 volunteers strong and offers services to over 230 ski areas from coast to coast, including alpine and Nordic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past two decades, CSP services have extended beyond the ski hill to offer first aid\/medical support, and medical team coordination for a long list of sporting events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
