Saint John First Aid Working To Save More Lives
SAINT JOHN, NB, OCT 10, 2022—Since the Life Start Training’s inception in 2016, Khryspn Jensen knew there was a better way to teach people first aid that was fun, memorable, and that would result in more lives saved. She was appalled by reported cardiac arrest survival rates in Canada (was less than 10% survival for out-of-hospital heart attack victims) and made a personal commitment to do her part in helping to save more people from avoidable death. That commitment is no longer just personal, now it is the company’s mission and the reason behind every step Life Start Training takes in pursuit of elevating training standards. Pursuant to this, Life Start Training Inc is planning expansion through franchising.
Life Start Continues National Expansion
SAINT JOHN, NB, JUNE 17, 2021—When the COVID-19 pandemic hit last year Saint John entrepreneur Khryspn Jensen believed her company was doomed.

Heart charity discourages mouth-to-mouth
Saint John - The New Brunswick Heart and Stroke Foundation has discouraged mouth-to-mouth breathing during CPR due to potential COVID-19 transmission. But one first aid group says it's still safe to do so within your household bubble.
To Breathe or not to Breathe
