CFAST student saves life with CPR

Nov 6, 2009

Nov 6 was just another day for Karen M.  She was dropping of her co-worker at the Portland Street Superstore where they both work, when another co-worker ran out to her truck and said that there was an elderly man unconscious inside the store. Karen jumped from her truck and ran inside and discovered the man was cardiac arrest.  She said to herself "Oh my God, it's up to me to do something." Wasting no time she started CPR. She continued chest compressions with the help of her co-worker, Nancy, until EMS arrived 10 minutes later.  The man was hooked up to an AED, shocked and revived.  Way to go Karen for your unselfishness and quick willingness to help.  Because of your actions you saved a life!

CFAST Growing

Our 2008 Annual report is very encouraging for the future of our company.  CFAST (Courtney's First Aid & Safety Training Inc.) has seen a dramatic increase in business in 2008 and first quarter figures for 2009 shows the same increase trend continue.

2008 was a year of dramatic change for the company.  We changed providers and our approach to delivery.  Our customers have reacted very positive to the change and continue to call on us for return business.  We added several new trainers to our portfolio and new products which also has been received very positively

What's in the future?  We intend to continue our high quality training  and products that we always had and expand into new markets.  As always, we continue to grow and train our leadership team with the most advanced training tools available. In today's economic troubled marketplace it is important that we watch our bottom line and keep competitive with pricing. We continue to seek out the best providers that meet our needs to help keep our costs at a minimum without jeopardizing quality products or instruction that we are best known for in Atlantic Canada.
