Residents in Hay River, Northwest Territories, have the opportunity to update their emergency response skills during a two-day training session this week. The Standard CPR and First Aid Level C course is scheduled for March 19 and March 20, 2026.

The training sessions will take place at 42003 Mackenzie Highway and will run from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. each day. According to an announcement from Hay River Community Announcements, the cost to attend the certification program is $300 per person.

Organizers noted that only three spots remained available as of March 18, 2026. This type of training is a common requirement for many local jobs and volunteer roles that follow safety standards set by the Workers’ Safety and Compensation Commission.

Community members who take the course will learn how to handle various medical emergencies and provide basic care. The program is designed to provide residents with the practical skills needed to assist others in a crisis until professional help arrives.
