We are proud to announce that the Canadian Red Cross has recently presented us with the Partners in Humanity Citation. Safe + Sound has the honour of being the first recipient of this national award in Canada.

Would you know what to do if your child was choking? In this kind of serious emergency situation, you need to act very quickly in order to save your child's life. If a person has a fully obstructed airway, their heart will stop in 4-6 minutes. In most cases, the ambulance will take longer than this to arrive, so you need to take immediate action. First aid skills are easy to learn and taking a Red Cross course will give you confidence when dealing with unexpected emergencies.  If you're not sure which course to take, just give us a call and we'll be happy to help you.

Check out these two short videos that present the science behind two of the key recommendations from the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) published last fall and how they impact our first aid program.

The ILCOR guidelines released on October 18 have garnered a significant amount of coverage in the media. The most important thing for Canadians to know right now is that the CPR they’ve been trained to perform is still right.
