Probably the best surprise I had at the National Meetings was being able accept the first place awards for the National First Aid competition on behalf of Thompson Zone. Most of all, I want to thank my teammates - Shane Kerpan and Christy Guerrier. They are really the people that made it fun. There are no guarantees - remember, Thompson won the Division and National competitions, but different teams won each. The challenge is out.
Competitions are a lot of fun and a great opportunity to learn.
I encourage everyone to give it a try. Let's see if we can have 10 teams at the zone competition next year. On April 22, a long range planning workshop was held. The purpose of the workshop was to try to set some direction for the next three years. The group developed lists of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and contraints.
