Do you require first aid training for your workplace? Maybe looking to add a new certification to your resume? Or perhaps you just want to be prepared for if the worst happens to your friends and family?

Let the West Hillhurst Community Association help you get first aid certified! August 17 & 18, we will be hosting Standard First Aid – CPR C & AED with a St. John’s Ambulance certified instructor. From 9am to 5pm, this 2-day course will teach you everything you need to know in order to save lives at work, home, or play. At the end of the course, you will write a quick test after demonstrating practical skills and receive your First Aid certification.

Due to a special deal, we are able to offer this course at only $120 to the general public – typically offered at $155. If you have a valid WHCA Family Membership, you can get an additional 10% off the cost of the course and enroll for only $108! That’s $47 off of what you would pay elsewhere for the exact same certification.

So join us August 17 & 18 and learn how to become a certified first aider.
