Gill and Warren McCulloch immigrated to Canada in 1996 and have proudly lived and worked in the BC Tri-Cities area (Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, and Port Moody) since 1998. As active members of the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce, they love collaborating with local businesses throughout the Metro Vancouver Area to provide essential workplace safety and first aid training for their teams.
Our Mission: Creating a Safer Community
Gill and Warren envision a world where people selflessly look out for one another. Providing life-saving First Aid & CPR training is their way of contributing to that vision.

Since founding Safe + Sound in 1999, Gill and Warren have trained over 50,000 people in First Aid & CPR—averaging about 2,500 students annually across the Lower Mainland.
Nothing is more rewarding for them than hearing from a graduate who used their training to handle an emergency or save a life. First aid training empowers individuals with the vital knowledge needed to prevent accidents, manage emergencies, and ensure everyone gets home to their families Safe and Sound.
We want you and your loved ones to come home safely at the end of each day
The Story Behind Safe + Sound: Why First Aid Training Matters
"When my five-year-old son choked on a hard candy, stopped breathing, and nearly died, time stood still. Because of my Canadian Red Cross training, I knew exactly what to do—and I was able to save his life." — Gill McCulloch, Founder
The very next day, a friend shared a heartbreaking contrast. A five-year-old girl in the neighbouring community had tragically passed away after choking on a piece of apple. Her mother simply didn't have the training or knowledge to save her.
Two identical emergencies. Two completely different outcomes.
In a Life-Threatening Emergency, Seconds Count
Many people don't realize how quickly a medical emergency can escalate:
The Reality: Without oxygen, the brain and heart begin to fail within 4 to 6 minutes.
The Response Time: The average response time for an ambulance to arrive is 10 minutes.
The Solution: Immediate bystander CPR and first aid intervention are the absolute critical links in the chain of survival.
First aid training is straightforward, highly accessible, and takes only a few hours of your time. It is, without a doubt, the most valuable investment you will ever make for your family, your community, and your workplace.
Don't Wait Until It's Too Late
Anyone can save a life when given the right tools. Empower yourself, your family, or your workforce with certified, hands-on safety skills before an emergency happens.
