First-Nations-First-Aid near Gold River BC (159 Result(s))

Pair of Medics First Aid has been teaching lifesaving skills for several years, in the northern region of Vancouver Island, BC and now in the Alberni Valley. Pair of Medics First Aid Training was originally started because both Chris and Carla working as Primary Care Paramedics with the BC Ambulance Service would arrive on scenes and realize that most of the patients, that were critically ill or injured, could have had some lifesaving first aid provided to them prior to their arrival. Pair of Medics First Aid brings 24+ years of combined experience to the classroom. Chris and Carla are both certified training instructors with the Canadian Red Cross and are members in good standing with the local Chamber of Commerce. We provide the highest quality first aid equipment and supplies while offering our students a professional first aid program in a relaxed and fun environment.

The Tlowitsis Nation territories span the coastal area of Northern Vancouver Island, Johnstone Strait and adjacent mainland inlets. From time immemorial until the 1960s they occupied numerous sites throughout these lands. Seasonal travel routes, food processing locations, burial and cultural sites and other named places extend across the entire territory. Kalugwis, located on Turnour Island, was their primary winter residence.In the 1960s, the Government closed down the school and monthly hospital ship on Kalugwis. With no prospect of education alternatives to residential school and no access to health care, the community gradually left Kalugwis and dispersed throughout Vancouver Island and southern British Columbia. The Nation is currently experiencing an exciting period of revitalization as its dispersed population reconnects with each other and their shared identity as a people.Band OfficeCampbell River,
