Please note: 

Nova Scotia has announced that it is making changes to its workplace first aid requirements, joining other provinces in complying to the new Canadian Standards Association (CSA) standard. First aid training certificates issued before regulatory changes will be valid until they expire, while the first aid kits that meet current requirements will be in compliance until June 13, 2023.
