This MOU ensures that introductory ICS training courses are more accessible for emergency management personnel across Canada, ultimately contributing to the ongoing advancement of disaster and emergency management in Canada.

“By improving accessibility to entry level ICS Canada training opportunities, this agreement will enhance operability amongst ICS Canada users across the country and internationally. When everyone uses common training and command structures, emergency personnel are able to focus on what they do best, emergency response.”
– Vincent Demers, Chair of ICS Canada

Through this MOU, CRHNet and ICS Canada are agreeing to support one another in the spirit of collaboration, cooperation, and shared learning. Within this agreement:

CRHNet members and ICS Canada Members can anticipate reciprocal discounted attendance to partner events and joint learning opportunities.
ICS Canada Members are invited to join CRHNet at a discounted rate.
CRHNet members are invited to enroll in I-ICS 100 and I-ICS 200 at a discounted rate.
“This partnership is another example of CRHNet’ s commitment to improving access to related training and frameworks that can help to support our members, as we all work together towards creating a safer, more disaster-resilient, and more prepared Canada.”
– Jodi Manz-Henezi, President of CRHNet.

Information on how to access these benefits will be shared directly with Members of CRHNet and ICS Canada.
