Meet Ruth Martinuk
Founder • Canadian Red Cross Training Partner • Mobile Intensive Care Paramedic
I began teaching first aid and CPR in 1997 after working as an Emergency Medical Technician and later as a Mobile Intensive Care Paramedic.
My passion for training became deeply personal after my six-year-old son, Christian, was tragically killed by a street racer. The first aid provided at the scene helped keep my family alive until the STARS air ambulance arrived.
In Christian’s memory, I founded I Res-Q U, Inc. because I believe quality first aid training gives ordinary people the confidence to save lives when every second counts.
“If one person leaves my classroom ready to save a life, then I’ve done my job.”
