When trappers are in the bush, they are often extremely isolated. The local community clinics run by the Cree Health Board have developed a training program and emergency medical kit. The emergency medical kits are taken into the bush to provide health care for families in the bush. The use of the medicines in the kit is supervised by bush radio via the local fur officer, to the nurse at the community through the clinic. The regional association assists with this program in any way possible, providing logistical or administrative support.
Some communities provide emergency funds for their trappers via the local trappers committee.
When called upon, the regional association assists in any manner possible with logistical and administrative support. The local Trappers Committee often coordinates this for the hunters. Once again, the regional association assists the local trappers committee if required.
