‘A sudden cardiac arrest can affect anyone’

“The City of Vancouver approved a motion earlier this month that will place 1,000 Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), as well as first aid supplies, throughout the city.

According to a news release, the motion was brought forward by St. John Ambulance B.C. & Yukon as part of their Start Me Up B.C. Program, which seeks to fill the gap when it comes to the accessibility of AEDs and other first aid supplies.

AEDs are electronic devices that can help restart someone’s heart if they’re experiencing cardiac arrest.”
