As part of Project Elevation, the Outdoor Council of Canada (OCC) has upcoming consultations for the National Occupational Standards (NOS) with Tourism HR Canada.
These consultations will take place in the week of January 26th-30th in Edmonton, Canmore, and Calgary. At these consultations, they will:
- Review and provide input on the newly drafted Outdoor Guiding Competencies (skills)
- Identify and select the competencies to be included in the NOS for Outdoor Guides
- Discuss the types of tools and resources that could support the implementation and use of these competencies and standards
If you are interested in engaging a diverse group of outdoor professionals to help strengthen the outcomes of the NOS, please reach out to Lindsey Gartner, Project Director, Outdoor Council of Canada, for more information.
