We had a fantastic time at Pave the Pathway on Thursday, April 30 at St. Joseph’s High School in Red Deer.

A sincere thank you to Brandy and Marian for hosting such a well-organized and engaging event for students exploring future career pathways.

AHASTI was proudly represented by Sarah, our First Aid and Psychological First Aid Instructor, and Doug, our EMR Instructor. Together, they spent the day connecting with students, answering questions, and providing hands-on opportunities to explore real emergency response equipment.

It was great to see so much curiosity and enthusiasm around careers in emergency services and workplace safety. Events like this are an important step in building confidence, awareness, and interest in lifesaving skills.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to connect with us—we always enjoy being part of these conversations.

Why everyday life is where first aid matters mostMost people take first aid training because of work. It's required. Scheduled. Renewed every few years.And because of that, it's easy to assume that's where it will be used — on a job site, in a workplace, during a shift. But that's not where most e...
