A leader in First Aid and CPR training for over 20 years

Latest News: Our neighbourhood pharmacy is now providing naloxone courses at our office again!

Partnering with and being part of the Canadian Red Cross and the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada ensures quality training, quality material, and certification that is recognized by professional organizations world wide.

Your work environment or geographical location may affect the types of injuries/medical conditions you may encounter as well as the time you need to wait for emergency response which will affect the First Aid course you should be taking. The knowledge, critical thinking, and skills you gain from an LMac Community CPR course will aid you in caring for your family, friend or co-worker until medical aid arrives.

Our clients come from many fields including medical personnel (nurses, personal support workers, dentists & doctors), office staff, manufacturing, construction, skilled trades, Scouts/Guides and other youth groups. While most of them have different training needs, they all have one thing in common - they took the time to learn how to help someone else who requires First Aid - from a basic bandage to full CPR.

• Due to limited class size we must have full payment prior to the course to guarantee your spot and currently we are not accepting cash payments - depending on the course you may pay by PayPal, E-Transfer or Corporate invoicing (if pre-approved).

• All participants are required to complete a CoVid questionaire prior to entering the teaching area.

Canadian Red Cross has now released their new Wilderness First Responder program!

The Wilderness First Responder program has just been released by the Canadian Red Cross and will be available from LMac in January 2021!

While this course is generally taken by people who will be providing professional level First Aid, such as Search & Rescue services in a wilderness environment, it is also a great course for those who are applying for employment in a wilderness setting where a higher level of training is an advantage or for those with an interest in taking their Wilderness First Aid to the next level.

This course is a combination of the skills, knowledge and equipment that a First Responder would use in an urban setting and the longer term care abilities plus other skills that a Wilderness First Aider would use in a wilderness setting.
