Free Community CPR Workshop (Non-Certifying) — Calgary

Following a recent tragedy in British Columbia that brought Canadians together in an extraordinary display of compassion and willingness to help, we are offering a free, non-certifying CPR workshop in Calgary through the end of February.

Our goal is simple: to empower more people with essential life-saving skills and the confidence to act in an emergency.

This workshop focuses on practical CPR knowledge — not certification cards. Participants will leave better prepared to help until professional responders arrive.
