CVR Orientation Training is the first step in training for CVR members. The training modules should be taken in the order as presented below. Here’s a brief overview of the three CVR Orientation modules:
CVR General Orientation Module
This module will familiarize CVR members with the CVR’s history, purpose and general operations. Participants will also learn about Canada’s legislative framework for dealing with emergencies that affect animals and where the CVR fits within that framework.
CVR Introduction to Incident Command System (ICS) Module
This ICS module provides a general overview of the Incident Command System and how it is applied in emergencies.
CVR Call-Up Process and Procedures Module
This third and final module in the Orientation package informs CVR members of the various types of communication they can expect to receive from the CVR if there is an emergency event that requires activation of the CVR and deployment of CVR members. It also deals with the issues of personal and business preparedness when called to serve in an emergency response.
When you have completed all three orientation modules contact CVR Administration reserve@cvma-acmv.org to be advised of any next steps. You will be sent a current version of the CVR Service Waiver to sign (Sample CVR Service Waiver).
