Review of current practices
For a company operating in areas where bears are present, the awareness training provided by Kim has been instrumental in creating a ‘bear safety’ culture within our organization. The training was practical and engaging; much more effective than a standard training video. I would highly recommend this training to any industry sector that works in bear country.
