🐾❤️ Special Visitor in Class Today! ❤️🐾

We had the absolute pleasure of welcoming Sadie, a St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog, into our classroom today!

First aid training is about more than just skills — it’s about compassion, connection, and supporting people through stressful moments. Sadie reminded us how powerful calm presence and emotional support can be in both emergency and everyday situations.

Our students loved the visit (and let’s be honest… so did the instructor 😉).

Thank you to St. John Ambulance and sweet Sadie for bringing smiles, comfort, and a little extra heart to our training day. 🐶💕

Tumbler Ridge, our hearts are with you. ❤️
From the Cariboo to the Peace Region, we stand together when our communities need it most.

To the families, first responders, volunteers, and everyone working tirelessly through these challenges — we see you, and we’re holding space for you. Your resilience is unbelievable, and you’re not facing this alone.

Sending strength, safety, and support from all of us here at Rapid Response Training and the Williams Lake/Cariboo community. 💛

Stay safe, look out for one another, and keep supporting your neighbours — that’s what makes our communities so strong.

This past weekend, we hosted two Red Cross youth courses: Stay Safe, which focuses on helping children learn how to stay safe when home alone, and the Red Cross Babysitting Course, where kids and youth build the skills and confidence to responsibly care for younger children.

This was another wonderful partner project with the Chase Literacy Program, and thanks to their support, we were able to offer these opportunities to youth in our community at a subsidized rate.

We look forward to offering more opportunities like this for children, youth, and families in our community in the future.

🔥 What an incredible weekend with our Grade 12 Junior Firefighter crew from Williams Lake and 100 Mile at TRU Williams Lake!🔥

These students showed up ready to learn, work hard, and have fun — and they absolutely crushed it. From splinting and spinal immobilization to teamwork challenges and lots of laughs, they proved why our future first responders are in good hands.

Their dedication, teamwork, and positive energy made the training room come alive. We’re so proud of the effort they put into mastering real-life emergency skills — and they did it with the best attitudes!

Huge shoutout to this amazing group for making the weekend such a blast. 🚑💪
Keep chasing those goals — your communities are lucky to have you!

🚨 Choking Response… in SLOW MO! 🫁🤣
Today’s class absolutely crushed our choking-vest drills — and yes, everything looks 10x more dramatic in slow motion!

These Grade 12 Junior Firefighters have been putting in the work all weekend, learning real-life skills that save lives. Proud is an understatement. 🙌🔥

Hands-on practice. Real-world scenarios. LOTS of teamwork (and a few laughs).
This is what makes first aid training unforgettable. ❤️

🔥 Sunday Funday Training Weekend! 🔥

Rapid Response Training had the privilege of spending the weekend with the Grade 12 Junior Firefighters from 100 Mile House and Williams Lake at TRU Williams Lake.

These dedicated youth completed their Standard First Aid and Transportation Endorsement training — showing outstanding teamwork, professionalism, and commitment to their future roles in emergency services. 🚑🔥

We are incredibly proud of their hard work and determination. Investing in the next generation of first responders is something we value deeply, and this group showed exactly why.

Thank you to everyone who participated and supported this weekend’s training.
Our community is stronger because of you.
