We needs to find a way to help trip leaders, get more people to lead trips. I see many people have skills to lead though they seems to be bit hesitant. We only do trip planning meeting early in the year but may be add a second session in the middle of the season to add more trips, fine tune existing trips.
Also like what we did last year by posting trips without a leader or co-leader to see anyone wanted to pick up and carry on.
Also if club can provide additional training for the trips leaders like Wilderness First aid, subsidy for Paddle Canada courses, leadership training etc assuming they lead trips after taking training.
First aid kit idea was great, now I carry SKABC First Aid kit all the time.
Paddling film festival also a good idea to bring people together.
I like to see if we can setup a meeting or in person session to brainstorm how to get more people into trip leading.
