They stîli offer first aid at the levels of advanced, standard and ernergency, babysitting courses, health care and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. TÉhe change in location and recent integration of the Whitby, Oshawa, Bowmanville and Ajax branches in Novemher into the Durhamn branch was intonded to provide the public with more services. "There is more flexibility for them (local residents) when they're trying to meet their sche- dules because often there is a time constraint with. people nowadays, and by baving that option, it juet depends on them,» says Lynda Lawson, executive director of the Durham branch. Ev-en though Whitby lost class- roon space in the move Staples doesn't consider it a cfisadvan- tage because the other regional training centres also offer the same courses at the sarne cost. The only difference is Whitby will only be able to hold one class at a turne. "The future is going te mean rnuch more opportunity for the public. We have a wider range we can enhance the roduct and1 we can offer more b viing it i n different locations," says Staples. St. John members have wor- ked together te make the move a success. «Ljike any transition there are ups and down s,» says Staples. However, says Lawson, «It has been a relatively an easy adjuet- ment." The new location was also cho- sen te meet aIl the needs of the St. John Ambulance brigade which volunteers at special func- tions. An open bouse is planned at the tramning centre in April to familiarize the public with the new facility and the services they offer. Durham area residents can contact St. John Ambulance at 434-7800.
