About the Kawartha Ski Patrol
A division of the Ontario Division of the Canadian Ski Patrol System (CSPS), the Kawartha Zone provides services to a number or regional ski facilities.

History of the Canadian Ski Patrol
In 1940, Dr. Douglas Firth, a young Toronto doctor and skier, was asked by the Canadian Ski Association to organize and train a first aid rescue group to patrol ski hills. The initial members of the Canadian Ski Patrol System (CSPS) came from the Toronto Ski Club, and they patrolled in and around the Toronto area. In the late 1940's, the CSPS spread to other regions in Ontario, Québec and the West Coast.
In 1961, the CSPS was accredited as a National Charity and became independent of the Canadian Ski Association. Membership had grown to 600 patrollers. By 1962, we were incorporated as a national nonprofit corporation and had raised our registration to approximately 1,000 members. In 1965, with over 1,500 members, it was time to open a small office and hire a secretary to handle the mounting requirements of communication.
In 1973, the CSPS Logo was changed to a yellow and gold cross on a blue stylized maple leaf. It became the official trademark being registered by 1975. The Ski patrol
members had increased to 5,200. During the Seventies Nordic patrolling became a recognized part of the system.
The early nineties has seen the Snowboarding popularity become increasingly apparent. The CSPS has kept pace by setting Snowboard Standards thus certifying full members to the system.
Today, the Canadian Ski Patrol boasts members of over 5,000 from all the provinces and territories across Canada with new Patrols and members constantly joining. We are in our 60th year of operations and continue to be one of the largest volunteer ski rescue services throughout the world.
