Emergencies can happen to anyone, at any time, even during something as ordinary as a hockey game. When a player suddenly collapsed on the ice, it was the quick thinking and action of his friends, guided by someone properly trained in CPR and AED use, that helped manage the situation until professional help arrived.

This story shows that knowing how to respond, staying calm, and having proper first aid training can make a real difference in critical moments. You don’t need to be a hero; you need the right skills and the confidence to step in.

First aid and CPR aren’t just skills; they’re practical tools that empower everyday people to support and protect those around them when every second counts.

Watch to see how training and preparation can make a meaningful impact in real-life emergencies.

This Earth Day, it’s a good time to think about how climate change affects our communities. 🌍

Extreme weather events, from floods and storms to heatwaves, are becoming more frequent, and they often create situations where first aid and emergency response skills are needed more than ever. Being prepared isn’t just about having a kit; it’s about knowing what to do, staying calm, and helping those around you when unexpected events happen.

Our Emergency Response Unit (ERU) program trains volunteers to respond safely and effectively during disasters, ensuring communities can recover faster and more efficiently. From first aid to disaster response, these skills make a real difference when every moment counts.

This Earth Day, consider how being ready for the unexpected helps protect both people and communities. Consider donating to help support this work here https://hubs.la/Q047Y0dS0.

This past weekend we were proud to celebrate National Volunteer Week at our Volunteer Appreciation Brunch held at the Capital Hotel. 💚

Surrounded by an incredible group of Therapy Dog Volunteers, Medical First Responder (MFR) Volunteers, Emergency Response Volunteers, staff, and board members, the room was filled with gratitude and community spirit.

We were especially honoured to recognize and present awards to some of our dedicated Therapy Dog and MFR Volunteers—individuals who truly embody commitment and service.

This year’s Volunteer Week theme, Ignite Volunteerism, was felt in every conversation and every story shared. Our volunteers continue to spark positive change in our communities, and we are so thankful for the impact they make each and every day.

To all of our volunteers, thank you for everything you do!
