View recent COVID-19 updates from Outward Bound Canadaĭetails: You are eligible to apply if you are between 12-25, currently reside in Canada, fit into the household income criteria scale, and are motivated to attend the course! There is no deadline to apply – applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis as long as funds are available. We work to carry out regular prevention measures and practice physical distancing and proper handwashing throughout the course.

Upon arrival to courses, participants and staff will be briefed on procedures to minimize the risk of spreading infectious illness. The risk of contracting COVID-19 is new for all of us, and cannot be eliminated completely. Outward Bound Canada is committed to mitigating the risks involved with our expeditions, and to minimizing the spread of infectious illness among our participants and staff.

Given how much remains unknown, a commitment to always erring on the side of caution is prudent. OBC’s protocols reflect current (and evolving) evidence, provincial/federal regulations and the variable easing of restrictions across all regions of operation. Given the ongoing flux of the situation and the variability of environments in which we operate, a basic understanding of viral transmission for all participants and staff is essential to ensure all members of our team can make independent and appropriate judgment calls while adhering to organizational, provincial and federal guidelines. As information regarding the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, Outward Bound Canada’s guidelines and field protocols must be sufficiently robust and nimble to ensure the wellbeing of our participants and staff.
