WHEREAS Saskatchewan ambulance wait times vary greatly; especially for those outside the urban centres.

WHEREAS the first few minutes after an accident or incident are critical to a person’s survivability.

WHEREAS first aid and CPR training have shown to be of great value and should be learned from a young age and kept up to date as required.

BE IT RESOLVED that SARM lobby the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health to have first aid and CPR training as part of the high school curriculum so that every student learns this very important life skill before they seek employment where it is a prerequisite or before they come across an individual that may require it.
