Train the Next Hero 2026: Free CPR & First Aid Workshop

Since 2018, Train the Next Hero has brought free, hands-on first aid and CPR training to local communities, and nearly 3,000 people have registered so far. Join the training to become one of Canada’s next heroes!

Train the Next Hero was born in North York after the Yonge Street van attack on April 23, 2018. Coast2Coast believes that if more of the people around that day had been trained in first aid and CPR, some of the victims would have had a better chance of survival.

The workshop is completely free, but spots are limited. Everyone must get their ticket online before they sell out. Choose from eight sessions running every hour, beginning at 10 AM.

What to Expect:

• A hands-on, one hour workshop led by professional instructors
• Small groups, so everyone gets time to practice on a CPR manikin
• CPR & AED, choking and opioid poisoning training delivered in clear, simple steps you can use in a real emergency
