Cardiac arrest strikes over 40,000 Canadians each year, often in public settings where immediate bystander action can double or even triple a person’s chance of survival. CPR Month aims to empower Canadians with essential training, ensuring more people are ready to help in emergencies.
Learning CPR and AED skills can be a game-changer in situations where every second counts. During a cardiac arrest, oxygen needs to keep flowing to the brain and organs, which CPR can help maintain until emergency services arrive. AEDs, increasingly available in public spaces, guide users through life-saving steps to restore a normal heart rhythm. With the right training, anyone can confidently take on this responsibility.
To support CPR Month, AHASTI offers Canadian Red Cross-certified courses, from beginner to advanced, ensuring everyone can gain life-saving skills at their comfort level. These hands-on sessions blend knowledge with practice, allowing participants to become more comfortable and proficient with each step. This November, AHASTI is offering a special 10% discount on all CPR and AED courses to encourage more people to sign up—just use the code Fall24 at checkout!
Getting trained yourself is a powerful step, but there’s also an opportunity to spread awareness. When you share the importance of CPR with friends, family, and even colleagues, you’re helping build a safer, more prepared community. Raising awareness and encouraging others to get trained can multiply the impact, ensuring that more people can act quickly in an emergency.
CPR Month is about more than just individual training; it’s about creating a community that’s prepared to help each other. By joining a CPR class, you’re not only acquiring valuable skills but also joining a network of proactive, safety-conscious individuals. Empower yourself, become prepared, and take advantage of the 10% discount this month by signing up with AHASTI using code Fall24.
Together, let’s make our communities safer, one CPR course at a time!
