Click on the picture to complete your school's Final Progress Report - it should take less then five minutes!

After a year of what we hope was

filled with successes and lessons learned, we now invite you to complete your school's Final Progress Report. The survey has been revised and improved to ensure that we capture the most important feedback in the swiftest manner possible.  

Although the progress report has always been a brief survey, this latest copy is less then half as long as the previous two reports and should now take you under five minutes to complete. We hope that all schools can complete the report within the next two weeks (before June 10). As usual, any student or staff adviser from your school can complete the report, and multiple responses are always welcome! 

Lastly, to wrap up the No Regrets program at your school this year, SMARTRISK will be sending each school a "Certificate of Outstanding Leadership" - it is important that each school answers the last question in the survey, which asks how many of these certificates each team will need. If the question is not answered then your school will receive a default of two for each student leader that attended training. Thanks! 

SMARTRISK teams up with Canadian Forces Snowbirds

SMARTRISK President and CEO Dr. Phil Groff poses with the Canadian Forces Snowbirds in Moose Jaw, Sask. earlier this month.

Days before the Canadian Forces Snowbirds took to the skies this month to begin their 41st air show season, SMARTRISK President and CEO, Philip Groff, was delighted to fly to Moose Jaw, Sask., to meet with the team. Dr. Groff follows in the footsteps of SMARTRISK founder - and Honorary Snowbird - Dr. Robert Conn, who began the tradition of visiting the Snowbirds annually, to ensure all new recruits get to know SMARTRISK and the special relationship we maintain.

The Snowbirds are founding Ambassadors of SMARTRISK. Our relationship with Canada's iconic air demonstration team dates back to 1994. In fact, the Tutor jets the pilots fly each have a SMARTRISK stickman logo painted on the aircraft behind the canopy - click on the quick link of the month to see some fantastic footage! 

According to their website, as SMARTRISK Ambassadors, the Snowbirds "speak to students about managing risk. They talk about the importance of gear, training and attitude in preparation for each flight and the concentration needed to carry through their precision-timed manoeuvres."

SMARTRISK staff will join with the Snowbirds at a public event in Toronto in the leadup to the air show at the Canadian National Exhibition. We'll also be working together at a Gatineau, Que., event, bringing in a No Regrets Live show to coincide with an air show event. And at least one event is in the works involving No Regrets teams from six schools in the North Bay, Ont., area.

The Snowbirds will fly in about 55 shows in 31 locations across Canada and the United States this year. We encourage you to get out and enjoy this always exciting and impressive spectacle of smart risk taking.
