Canadian Firearms Safety Course (PAL) and CORE (hunting course) training
Learn in a warm and welcoming environment in my home classroom
Meet Martyne
A little about me
The name Chez Martyne means 'at Martyne's house' in French.
My home has been, and is continuing to be a place of gathering where all are welcome, so my friends started to refer to it as 'Chez Martyne' as a nod to my French Canadian background.
It just made sense to extend the name when I created my home classroom. It is important to me that my students feel welcome.
My background is quite diverse. I was a medic in the Canadian Army Reserves, then I went to teacher college, where I focused on teaching adults and people with learning disabilities. In addition to the PAL and the CORE programs, I’ve been teaching Wilderness Safety with the BC Wildlife Federation and First Aid with the Red Cross.
I love teaching and use a student centric approach to make sure that the information makes sense and is remembered.
I’ve lived in Logan Lake since 2021 and when I’m not teaching, I spend most of my time in the woods with my dog Ranger where you can find me hunting, foraging, always learning more and enjoying nature.
Note that all courses located in Logan Lake are given in my home classroom, and include lunch and snacks if you’re not too picky. Space is limited, so a $50 deposit will be asked to secure your spot.
If you don’t see dates what works for you, give me a call and we can discuss how to make it work for you.
I look forward to meeting you 😊

I'm always happy to go to areas in BC where you might not have an instructor available.
What's been working well, is one person reaches out to me, and once we agree on a date and location, I advertise in the local media, and get more students.
I never charge extra for this service, but require a minimum of 10 students per course.
Past events included women's groups, youth groups, homeschoolers, Indigenous communities, remote communities...
