Class Cancellations - Covid-19

As we continue to navigate the COVID-19 situation please know that the safety and wellness of our students, staff, instructors and volunteers are our top priorities. As such, the decision is been made to suspend all Training Centre instructional activities, effective 5pm, Tuesday March 17, 2020. We will monitor this on a daily basis and are reaching out to our students with additional information. Social distancing is essential, and as our First Aid and CPR classes are group gatherings in close quarters, we want to ensure the safety of our instructors and clients. The most important way we can help increase public safety and wellness is by limiting our interactions through our classes. Students may transfer to another class in the future or to our blended online training at no cost. Please contact us at 1-780-482-7863 to speak with one of our customer service representatives.

Life Saving Solutions

St. John Ambulance and AEDMAP have partnered to develop and deliver a comprehensive public AED registry app to Canadians. AED Mapping will provide a public AED registry that utilizes google maps to display AED’s in the vicinity of the emergency.

Features include:

• AED Location Registration
• Search and locate an AED nearby
• Defibrillators FAQ
• CPR tutorial
• Worldwide emergency number automatic detection
• Emergency mode with CPR help
• Available on Google Play and Apple Store
• Free to the general public

In Canada someone experiences a cardiac arrest every thirteen minutes. Early recognition, CPR and use of an AED can increase the odds of survival by 75 per cent or more. The Save A Life app from St. John Ambulance-Alberta Council is supported by the AEDMAP database, wherein Canadian organizations with an AED can register their device. In the event of an emergency, general public or Emergency Services can utilize the application to locate the nearest AED, saving precious seconds.

Save A Life’s core focus is centered on improving the odds of survival of those in an emergency by locating the closest AED.

AED registry is populated in two ways:

Company self registration of their own AED’s

Crowd sourced by allowing the public to report the location of defibrillators
