Our Work

Every movement has a first chapter.

Ours is still being written — here's where it began.

Alder Health Foundation founder Nick Pidzarko teaching a first aid class at Langara College

Chapter one

Built at Langara.

Alder Health Foundation's first courses launched at Langara College. Students arrived curious and left confident — able to recognize an emergency and act. That transformation, repeated seat by seat, is the whole reason Alder exists.

From that first classroom, we're growing into free community coaching, pop-up outreach, and new programs across the Pacific West Coast.

What's next

This page will grow with us.

As we complete outreach events, community projects, and partnerships, we'll document them here — the neighbourhoods visited, the people trained, and what we learned along the way.

Want to be part of the next chapter? Get involved or bring Alder to your community.
