#Alberta CPR Company to Provide $25,000 in free CPR Training in 4th Annual Campaign to Increase Bystander Support of Cardiac Events

First Aid Training Calgary and First Aid Training Edmonton to provide training in both cities, during Heart Month in February – registration opens on Valentine’s Day
Page 1: For the fourth year, First Aid Training Calgary and First Aid Training Edmonton will donate $25,000 in CPR certification training to Albertans in recognition of Heart Month in Canada. Heart disease affects approximately 2.4 million Canadian adults and remains the second leading cause of death in the country. Yet only 18% of Canadians report ever having been certified to perform CPR. The offer will make it possible for more than 300 individuals to receive complimentary CPR certification, and additional discounted training opportunities available throughout the month will allow even more people to benefit. Registration opens on Valentine’s Day — Saturday, February 14 at 10:00 AM MT — at firstaidtrainingcalgary.com and firstaidtrainingedmonton.com. The initiative was inspired by the life-saving CPR performed on Buffalo Bills player Damar Hamlin after he collapsed during a game in January 2023. Hamlin later credited his survival to immediate bystander intervention — a moment that sparked a national conversation about preparedness. That year, the company responded with an initiative providing $10,000 in free training registration, which was filled in just 80 seconds. Since then, the program has more than doubled in size and expanded from Calgary to include Edmonton - donating more than $60,000 in training so far for more than 1000 individuals. “In 2023, we were blown away. The spots were gone almost instantly — but what stuck with us were the messages,” said Founder Ben Marasco, who launched the company in 2013. “People told us they had someone in their life at risk — a parent, a Page 2 - partner, a teammate — and they didn’t want to feel helpless anymore. We were extremely moved by our community’s response, and we’re honoured to be a part of that.” “Most of our students come because their workplace requires certification. But cardiac arrest doesn’t wait for you to be on the clock. It happens at home, in grocery stores, on the sidelines. Heart Month is our reminder that CPR isn’t just a professional skill — it’s a life skill.” Due to expected demand, registration must take place online. The first 1,800 hours of CPR training booked will automatically have fees waived. After that, all programs — not just CPR — will be available at a discounted rate using code HEART26 when registering online. Discounts are available until 11:59 PM MT on February 28, 2026. Fast Facts About CPR & Cardiac Arrest ● Sudden cardiac arrest occurs when the heart stops beating. Without immediate intervention, brain damage can begin within minutes. ● When cardiac arrest happens outside of a hospital, fewer than 1 in 10 people survive. ● Performing CPR immediately — and using an AED — can double or even triple a person’s chance of survival. ● Approximately 75% of cardiac arrests happen at home. ● Only about 40% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest victims receive bystander CPR before professional help arrives. ● People who present as female are 14% less likely to receive bystander CPR and defibrillation than those who present as male.

A screenshot from Threads, it reads: Shout out to @thevikingfrugs A couple of weeks ago she asked why Albertans against separatism aren't holding rallies and put a call out for volunteers. There's now 3 rallies planned for Feb 21 and the movement is gaining attention and support. Way to go! This is what grassroots is all about. There is a link to it.

Screenshot of a Tweet from Bruce McAllister which says: "More than a dozen CTV journalists said to have seriously low IQ’s - according to sources. 😉 See how ridiculous this is. Now - go report on the ATA cancelling AB legend Paul Brandt from speaking at their conference about the dangers of human trafficking - because he’s said to be too Conservative for their union leaders? Then show what they offer for seminars including: Gender ideology How teachers can come out to students How to navigate the new legislation on pronouns Inclusive language Inclusive policy based on race and gender Toxic masculinity and polarization And yes - Drag Bingo too. Then ask parents if this is what they expect and prefer teachers to be focusing on at teacher conventions. Voila - you have a news story. Don’t pick sides, just present the facts. Do this consistently on issues of substance and your ratings might come back."
