Q&A with Simon-Luc LavoieEye on the Arctic: How did you get interested in first aid in the first place? Outside of the harsh weather, communication in the North is probably the biggest obstacle that we face. Everything is pretty much made harder by the cold weather. Also, when you’re injured, your body actually loses some of its ability to regulate temperature, so you’re not only cold, because it is cold, you’re also getting more cold because you’re injured. Luckily, that doesn’t happen very often, so as a secondary mission, we augment the national search and rescue.
