Legislative Requirements
All First Aid Programs must adhere to federal, provincial, and territorial legislation, which is found at www.redcross.ca/firstaidlegislation . While the Canadian Red Cross has researched the legislative requirements, it is the responsibility of the Instructor to ensure that those requirements are met in the courses that they instruct.
