LEISURE
Equine Emergency
& Disaster Preparedness
Your horses are your responsibility. In BC there is no designated government or disaster
agency responsible for the evacuation, transportation and temporary stabling of horses
during large scale incidents. Horse Council BC has developed a set of guidelines to
help horse owners prepare for the worst. Lorraine Pelletier, Equine Canada Certified
Western Coach & Professional Trainer and LEPS Rep & CDART member will review these
guidelines that will provide you with information to assist you to plan and prepare in
case of an emergency situation.
This course is geared to Equine owners; however, material will be informative for
other types of animals. All materials and a basic emergency kit will be included with
registration.

Craving ChangeTM
Discover why you eat the way you do. Learn how to change your problematic eating
habits. The Craving ChangeTM program is not a diet. It does not teach you what, when,
where, or how much to eat. Rather it focuses on why you eat the way you do. As you
become more aware of your own personal eating triggers, you will be better able to
control your food cravings and change your problematic eating behaviours.
This four-part series will focus on increasing your awareness of your eating behaviours,
and will teach numerous strategies to assist you with overcoming barriers to achieve
improved health. Sara, a Registered Dietitian and Certified Craving Change Facilitator,
will guide you in reaching and maintaining a healthy weight by gaining control over your
eating behaviour. Each person will receive their own comprehensive workbook included
with registration.
