News and Events
NCCER 2010
Details for NCCER 2010 have finally been announced! It takes place during the end of Reading Week. The conference looks fantastic!
NCCER is one of two yearly conferences organized by ACERT and hosted by a university first aid team. This year, NCCER is hosted by the University of Western Ontario in London. Their first aid team is called SERT (Student Emergency Response Team). The theme is "Community Partners in Emergency Response." The conference includes many seminars, social events, and a competition. Conferences allow teams from all over Ontario and Québec to exchange ideas and practise their skills. Visiting teams have the option of billeting (staying in the homes of local SERT members) or staying in a hotel.
Many current team members have attended conferences such as MIXER and NCCER.
If you'd like to attend, please email crtcomm@gmail.com and register on the SERT NCCER 2010 website. If you are thinking of attending but aren't sure yet, please still email crtcomm@gmail.com so we can gauge interest.
Registration dates and costs:
before Jan 31st: $90
Feb 1st – Feb 7th: $95
Feb 8th – Feb 17th: $100
$50 per competing team
CRT will be able to reimburse at least half of the registration cost.

CPR-HCP recertification
This recertification is for returning team members whose CPR-HCP has not been updated within the last year. Once you are on the team for two or more terms, you will be re-imbursed (at least partly) for the cost of this certification.
If your certification is not up to date, you cannot take shifts.
Please contact the team coordinators if you need to recertify and aren't on the current list of members who want to attend.
Time and place to be determined.
Clubs and Services Days (2)
Clubs, services, and societies set up information booths in the Great Hall of the SLC. Students visit them from 10:00-15:00.
These days are a fantastic way to increase campus awareness of CRT and get new members! We will have copies of applications, a sign-up sheet for Cas. Sim. volunteers, and be ready to share plenty of information.
We will have a booth on both days, and team members can take half-hour shifts from about 9:00 (to set up) till 15:30 (to clean up). See the Term Schedule to see which shifts are available! This is a great chance to recruit more people just before the group interviews on Saturday, 16 January.
