Finding a friend to go hiking, canoeing, and camping with might be an effective thing to do. Also, there are probably locations that offer wilderness first aid courses in your city. Getting basic safety stuff right is probably lower-effort than taking a wilderness first aid course, though.

a friend

wilderness first aid

I'm in south Ontario, so the usual trainers are St. John's Ambulance. Looking it up, there's a two-day course in a nearby city next month for $200 that could be worth it.

basic safety stuff

There are a couple of versions of the "Ten Essentials" that I keep in mind.
