Some of the ride leaders are taking a first aid course (Occupational First Aid Level 1) as a part of ride leader requirement. The course is offered from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm at Maple Ridge First Aid School at 20475 Lougheed Highway, Maple Ridge on Sunday, November 3, 2013. Nick Balenzano, who is an avid mountain biker and also a NSRIDE club member, is going to be the instructor for this course. He has been teaching the OFA 1 and Trailside First Aid to our ride leaders, as well as coordinating the accident simulation scenarios for our club.

He' will also be offering Trailside First Aid course in the spring, but the prerequisite for the Trailside is OFA 1.
