THE SPIRIT TO SURVIVE - A Lifesaving Program

When Kate Carty is not flying or rescuing injured or lost hikers, she can be found pursuing a variety of sports including trail running, mountain biking, rock climbing and speed skating. Kate's focus on excellence and her background in health promotion makes it easy for her to motivate students to pursue life to the fullest and learn the key survival skills that they need to help them succeed.
Kate Carty is a Search and Rescue Volunteer and is currently working towards her fixed-wing pilot's license. She has competed in many trail races, backcountry hikes, triathalons and has cycled more than 30,000 km across 14 countries in Europe.
Kate received her Masters Degree in Kinesiology from the University of Western Ontario in 1994. In the last decade she has been using her skills to help create community-based injury prevention coalitions that promote healthy lifestyles for children and youth.

Kate Carty will often share her son's experiences. She describes him as a five-year old risk-taker who has told her that he will take lessons and wear all the gear whenever he wants to try something new!
Whether Kate is on a Search and Rescue mission, a training flight, or just out for a run in the woods, it is her son that she thinks about. "He watches everything I do; I need to set the best example possible for him. And, most importantly, I have to come home."
Kate Carty has the spirit to survive and she proves it every time she is on a search and rescue mission. She loves sharing her experiences about search and rescue, flying and sports with children and young people. Students will be highly motivated to learn how to apply the 4-key survival skills to all their activities and how they can realize their dreams while staying injury-free.
