MacLeod S100 for Industry Training Schedule

26 March 2025

I have openings in the April 16 and 17 session at the training center in Kelowna as well as the April 29 and 30 session in Kamloops. Contact me to book a spot or to enquire about further upcoming courses.

The MacLeod S100 for Industry exceeds BC Wildfire and Worksafe BC training requirments. The objective of the training is to better prepare paricipants to reduce the chance of, prepare for, and respond to, wildfires at, or near, their residence or workplace with little or no outside help. It also meets the standards required to work for BCWS when requested.

I have delivered the training to workers in the forest, construction, agriculture, recreation, and energy industries as well as many rural community groups and residents. It has received very good reviews.

Here is a brief introduction:

Some participants are looking at applying for financial help to take this training. I am not sure how this will work out but you can check at the following sites:
