Our Story

Meet Our Leaders: Charna and Lianne

Charna and Lianne’s professional journey began on a pool deck in SE Calgary in the late 1990s, where they first met while lifeguarding at a wave pool. Over the years, they worked together at various recreation facilities, teaching water safety, first aid courses, and lifeguarding programs. In 2006, they both joined AHASTI.

Recognizing their effective collaboration and shared passion for safety education, Charna and Lianne decided to join forces and purchased AHASTI in the Spring of 2009. Their partnership combined their love for teaching, lifesaving, and mentoring with a commitment to providing quality safety training to the community.

Thanks to their dedication, AHASTI has grown into one of Canada’s largest Training Partners for the Canadian Red Cross.
