•New approach to first aid is developed
St,John Ambulance has developed a new,
more flexible approach to First Aid Train-
ing. Called Modular First Aid, the new
courses are designed to meet the needs of a
more technoldgical and service industry
oriented society. Offering maximum choice
and flexibility in course options, Modular
First Aid lets the individual or industry
group, select the course content that best
suits their needs.
St John Ambulance designed and
developed the courses in consultation with
accident prevention and safety associations,
industry, government and the non-profit
sector,under the guidance of its prestigious
Medical Advisory Committee.
The new First Aid teaching videotapes
which have a strong safety -orientation,
feature dramatic,' accident and
treatment segmen s that are designed to
enhance the preven ion of accidents and to
promote safer work habits.
Three years in the making, these new
Modular St. John Ambulance Emergency
. First -Aid and Standard First Aid Courses
focus on teaching the skills and knowledge
people need, to handle the emergencies they
are most likely to encounter at home, in the
community or in the workplace.
Most Branches of St. John Ambulance in
Ontario are now gearing up to offer the new
Courses to their communities...but be pa-
tient if you can't get a Modular First Aid
Course at the drop of a hat...it may take a
little time for Branches to completely con-
vert to the new video equipment and adapt

Grant announcement
was incorrect
Contrary to a report in last week's News -
Record. (January 7 edition ), the Blyth Cen-
tre for the Arts has not been the recipient of
a $60,000 grant.
The press release, issued by the Ministry
of Citizenship and Culture said that the local
arts group had received the grant.
In fact, the Centre for the Arts is eligible
for a grant up to $60,000 over the next three
years.
However, a representative from the Cen-
tre
entre says that they do not expect to receive
the maximum grant allotment. A grant in
the range of $10,000 is anticipated.
