About the First Aid Workshop:
This free First Aid and CPR Skills Workshop is designed to help community members build confidence and preparedness in emergency situations. Participants will learn first aid and CPR techniques that can be used to respond to emergencies while waiting for medical assistance. Through practical demonstrations and hands-on learning, attendees will gain valuable knowledge about recognizing emergencies, assessing a situation and providing basic care when it matters most. Hear the inspiring story of a local volunteer who immigrated from Iran and went on to serve the Okotoks community as a paramedic for 40 years.
The workshop is taught by trained volunteers and experienced first responders who are passionate about sharing life-saving skills with the community. Whether you are a parent, youth, senior, coach, volunteer or simply interested in being better prepared, this workshop offers an opportunity to learn in a welcoming environment at the local Fire Hall.
Please note that this is a community training and skill-sharing workshop intended for educational purposes and confidence building. It is not a certified first aid or CPR course and participants will not receive a certification upon completion. Everyone is welcome to attend and learn skills that could help save a life.
*Event is held at Okotoks Fire Station #1 in the Training Room.
*Light refreshments will be offered during the Skill Share.
What is a Skill Share?
A Skill Share is a free, volunteer-led community learning experience where community members share their skills, knowledge, culture, time and stories with others.
Skill Shares can be led by long-time residents, newcomers, immigrants or anyone in the community who has something they would like to share. Past skill shares have included Kolache baking, Mexican Cuisine, Car Maintenance and Western Culture through Line Dancing.
This event is part of our Skill Share series hosted by Foothills Local Immigration Partnership (FLIP) and Foothills Community Immigrant Services (FCIS), and is funded by Family and Community Support Services (FCSS)
