Candle Lake first in Sask. to offer conservation officer course
Conservation officer recruits from across western Canada have gathered at Candle Lake Golf Resort.
They will be there for the next 16 weeks, taking part in the Western Conservation Law Enforcement Academy. This year marks the first time the academy has been offered in Saskatchewan.
“The reason Candle Lake was chosen was because the facility here worked really well. We have the lakes, and so we can have the boating course and we can also teach the ATV stuff,” said Sgt. Rich Hildebrand.
Hildebrand will be one of the course instructors, teaching the emergency vehicles operator’s course, among others.
