YouthSafe Outdoors: Risk Management for the Alberta Community Voluntary Sector

We are celebrating a major YouthSafeOutdoors initiative recently completed in Alberta (2004-2007) and involving several national and provincial level partners. This initiative involves developing and distributing a YouthSafe Outdoors resource to serve the youth recreation sector (i.e., community-based organizations, municipalities, and parks and attractions).

Follow this link to learn more about this exciting and impactful initiative.


What End Users in Communities are Saying

All sports organizations, outdoor organizations, and activity/youth organizations should be using this resource.

I can now feel that we have resources to greatly decrease the possibility of risk to campers and staff.
Camp Director, Edmonton

Easy, manageable resources. Great for volunteers and youth leaders.
Program Leader, Red Deer

I really liked the manuals; easy to navigate through and straight-forward. I like the forms. To have the work and information laid out like this is effective and quite transferable.
Program Coordinator, Calgary

This program is essential to ensuring municipal programs are operated to this standard.
Municipal Recreation Director, Banff

YouthSafe Outdoors is needed. It provides all the background and specific information concisely, professionally and thoroughly!
