🚨 St. John Ambulance Ontario is ready for the switch to CSA Standards; are you?

Effective next week, June 22, 2026, Ontario will transition to the new CSA (Canadian Standards Association) Standard for First Aid Training. As a result, under this new legislation, the 1-day renewal course for Standard First Aid will no longer be offered. However, participants with a valid Standard First Aid certificate up for renewal will now be able to renew their certification to the Intermediate First Aid course beginning June 22, 2026.

This means:
✔ Updated, standards-aligned course content
✔ Certifications that are recognized across Canada
✔ Continued focus on hands-on, practical skills
✔ Flexible delivery options (including blended learning for Intermediate First Aid)
✔ Experienced, highly qualified instructors

*Note: that this change to CSA standards only impacts first aid training. It does not impact the regulations around first aid products such as first aid kits, AEDs, and supplies. Since 2021, St. John Ambulance Ontario has been selling first aid kits designed to comply with CSA Z1220-17 standard.
