Our Story

About Sharalife First Aid Inc.

Founded in 2001 out of a personal emergency, Sharalife has spent 25 years making first aid training accessible, engaging, and life-changing for Saskatoon and beyond.

Our Story

Born from a Near-Fatal Emergency

After a near-fatal situation involving his young daughter Shara, EMT Chris Becker founded Sharalife First Aid Inc. in 2001 with a simple mission: ensure that everyone has the knowledge to save a life when it matters most.

Over 25 years later, Sharalife remains Saskatoon's most trusted first aid training provider — a Canadian Red Cross Training Partner operating from a state-of-the-art 5,500+ sq ft facility at 335 Robin Way.

"Be prepared! Someday you may need to help a stranger, or someone you care the world about."
— Chris Becker, Founder
