🎁 Day 3 — The BBQ Boss

Prize: Small First Aid Kit

Their tongs are their tongs.
They’re cooking the snags at 1000°C. 🔥
And “flare-ups” are just “extra flavour.”

Would you:
A) Keep cool water handy
B) Step back and pray for the sausages 🙏🌭

👉 Tag your neighbourhood BBQ Boss — to enter!

🧠 Tip: Burns keep cooking even once heat is removed — 20 minutes of cool running water is key.

🎁 Day 2 — The Over-Enthusiastic Wrapper

Prize: CFA 2026 Calendar
Greeting: Kia ora e te whānau! 🎄

Cat is wrapped,
They’re wrapped too —
Tape in teeth…
What not to do! 😅🎁

Would you:
A) Hand them safety scissors
B) Just film the chaos for Insta 🤳🤣

👉 Tag the friend who is most likely that wrapper — to enter!

🧠 Tip: Tape-tearing with teeth can chip teeth and cut lips — use scissors safely and point them down if you’re moving around.

Day 1 — The Griswold

🎁 Day 1 Prize: CFA 2026 Calendar

You’re putting up Christmas lights, and your one “friend” insists on climbing the wobbly chair… barefoot. 😬
What do you do?
A) Grab a ladder
B) Say “she’ll be right” and keep filming? 📹🤣

👉 Tag that person who is most likely to be that friend — to enter!

🧠 Tip: A fall from even 1 metre can knock someone out or cause a spinal injury - spot them, stabilise the ladder, and don’t let them climb alone.

➡️ Book safer skills for 2026!

I can not believe I am doing this (putting up our DECEMBER public classes). How did December happen so quickly?
We’ve spent this year training so many amazing people across Ōtautahi and the South Island - helping our whole community stay safer and more confident.

Our December classes are here and we’d love to see you before the year wraps up! Grab your spot before the holidays hit so you and your whānau can be ready, safe, and confident when it really matters!

Happy Anniversary Canterbury!
Or more commonly known as Show Day.

Historically a hot day for Canterbury - so don’t forget the basics today, whether you're at the Show, in the garden, on the beach, or on the trails.

Slip, slop, slap, wrap… and hydrate!
Have a fun and safe long weekend, whānau.

The senior City First Aid team is off to the AECTP Conference today — senior in both experience and years, depending on who you ask! 😄

Glasses for reading screens ✅
Bottles for brain hydration ✅
Notebooks for the good stuff ✅

We’re looking forward to soaking up new ideas, connecting with other educators, and bringing fresh research and approaches back to our classrooms.

Are you a paper note-taker, digital learner, or do you just trust the memory of an elephant? 🐘

Like many people, we watched the news with great sadness seeing Kaikōura hit by the winds, the floods and then fires. 💔
When we reached out to offer our support, we found out about this incredible community event happening tomorrow and we knew we wanted to be part of it.

🌿 City First Aid will be there providing the First Aid Tent, helping keep everyone safe while celebrating the community’s resilience.

We’d love to meet you for reasons other than needing first aid! ❤️
So please pop by the First Aid Tent to say hi to Vicky and Brian, grab a plaster if you need one, or some sunscreen and have a friendly chat.

Kaikōura, your spirit inspires us — we can’t wait to see you this saturday between 2 and 7! 🌊🔥💪

A light read during lunch for something needed tonight!
Guy Fawkes is tonight, I've been hearing some going off every night for the last couple of weeks from our whare. So while the sky’s lighting up, we want to help you keep everyone safe on the ground.
From first aid for burns to keeping pets calm and protecting people with sensory sensitivities, our latest blog has you covered.

Because every sky flash should end with a WOW and not a trip to A&E.

🚣‍♀️ Tips from the Team | Stay Safe on the Water (Kayak & SUP Edition)

One of the best things about living in Aotearoa | New Zealand is our incredible coastline! 🏖️
And in our opinion, the best way to experience it is by kayak or stand-up paddleboard (SUP).

Travelling slowly and quietly lets you get close to wildlife and soak up the views — but doing it safely makes all the difference between a great day out and a rescue mission.

In this month’s Tips from the Team, tutor Nick shares his best advice for paddlers of all levels — from Coast to Coast trainees to weekend explorers.
✅ Check the weather
✅ Wear your life jacket
✅ Learn how to “Float to Live”
✅ Be first aid ready
