First aid is a valuable life skill that saves lives by providing people with the skills and judgement to respond to a variety of first aid emergencies.  Research has shown that individuals with first aid training are less likely to become injured. First aid training is a continuation of the Society's efforts to provide Canadians with the education and training to prevent injury and/or incidents.
