A Leader in Workplace First Aid
For over two decades, Rescue 7 has been at the forefront of workplace first aid training in Canada. Founded in 1998 by Toronto firefighter John Collie, the company has grown from a home-based operation to a nationally recognized training provider, equipping thousands of employees with the skills and confidence to respond in emergency situations.
“We want to give people the tools and confidence to help in real-life situations. That’s what we’re here for.”
Michele McCabe General Manager
Tailored Training Across Canada
Rescue 7 delivers high-quality, industry-specific training using a combination of instructor-led sessions and blended learning models. Their programs are certified nationwide (except in Quebec, which has a separate regulatory framework) and cater to a wide range of industries, from corporate offices to hazardous work environments.
Unlike some international training models that allow fully online certification, Canada requires hands-on instruction. Rescue 7’s expert trainers, who are all active or retired first responders, ensure that participants receive real-world, practical experience that prepares them to act in critical situations.
“In the States and other countries, you can do workplace first aid online. But in Canada, you have to actually learn how to do first aid, how to bandage someone, how to do CPR. It’s not just theoretical.”
