Knowing how to give CPR and keeping your certification current is an essential skill for everyone. Regardless of if you're a wilderness outdoor adventure guide, a babysitter, office worker, stay at home parent, student, or concerned citizen, knowing how to give CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is an integral part in starting the process of saving someone's life if they stop breathing, if their heart stops beating, or if they start to choke on a foreign object.
Imagine being unable help your infant who's choking on a grape or your partner who just had a heart attack? Calling the ambulance and waiting for help to arrive often takes too much time. Knowing what to do can make the difference between life and death.
CPR Courses are offered by the Heart and Stroke Foundation and St. John's Ambulance throughout most Canadian cities. The course itself is just a few hours long and is a lot of fun.
