Often Provinces Not School Boards Require First Aid Training

When my child had an accident at school, not one staff at my child's school had current First Aid/ CPR trainning. This means if my child stopped breathing, or my child's heart stopped beating, due to an allergic reaction, or any other reason, the paramedics may not have been able to reach my child in time. I know of children that HAVE been given improper first aid after injuries at schools.

Each Provence in Canada requires workplaces (including schools) to have employees with current first aid training. The WISB has he auhority to close any workplace (including schools) who do not meet safety requirments. If I had known this I would have reported my school to the WISB
