Special Course Discount from True North!

Would you like to volunteer your time to do something that is valuable for the environment … And learn potentially life saving skills while definitely saving some of your hard earned money?  Then read on!

Erik has already registered with Paddle Without Pollution (PWP) to volunteer his time on Saturday, 25 May at their cleanup on the Allegheny River near Tarentum.  He believes that PWP is offering another fantastic opportunity to enjoy a wonderful Spring day helping the river and its surrounding region that he has grown to love, while meeting a lot of great people in the process.

But Erik certainly doesn’t want to keep such a great opportunity all to himself … He wants all of his friends from the True North community to join in too!

So as special incentive for you to join in the event, Erik is offering a 20% discount on True North’s upcoming Wilderness First Aid (WFA) course on June 1 & 8 to anyone who shows up for PWP’s Allegheny River cleanup.

What is WFA?  WFA certification provides the basic level of first aid training where you will learn the fundamentals of dealing with an illness or traumatic injury in remote locations.  It is the perfect course for anyone who spends time in the Great Outdoors.  Many of our students include traditional outdoors people like hikers, hunters, and kayakers, but we also train pilots, park rangers, and workers from the Marcellus gas industry.  Basically, our students come to us because they know that if they, or someone else, gets hurt or sick, help won’t be around the corner when they dial 9-1-1 … If they can even dial 9-1-1.

Normally, we charge $150 per person for the course, but if you help out PWP on 25 May, you’ll pay only $120!
