The Etobicoke / Junction venue

Our West Toronto location is at 2381 Dundas St W, on the boundary between the Junction and Roncesvalles, just south of Bloor Street West. Dundas West Station on the Bloor-Danforth subway line is a short walk; the 505 Dundas streetcar also runs to the area. Street parking is available on Dundas and on the residential streets behind. Drivers from the Gardiner exit at Lake Shore or Roncesvalles; drivers from the 401 take the 427 south.

The space is a dedicated training centre with real CPR manikins (adult, child, and infant), AED trainers, BVMs for BLS, choking simulators, and the wound-care supplies needed for hands-on practice. Class sizes are kept small.

Junction venue vs Downtown vs East York

Life Safe has three Toronto venues. The Junction venue is the closest for west-end residents — Humber College area, High Park, Roncesvalles, Bloor West Village, Etobicoke proper, Mimico, New Toronto. The certificate from each venue is identical. For Burlington commuters, the Junction venue is also typically closer than the East York or Downtown venues.

How to book a Junction class

The west-end schedule is on the Toronto courses page (the Etobicoke / Junction venue is one of three Toronto sites listed). Pick a date that works, register, pay online, and show up. Weekend classes book up faster than weekday slots — plan a couple of weeks ahead if your schedule depends on Saturday or Sunday.
