CANADA – Vancouver to place 1,000 AEDs throughout city
‘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.”
It must be the water! What else could cause tens of thousands of people to simply keel over in the streets and need immediate defibrillation?
crack cocaine….. Kelowna streets are full of drug addicts passed out floating in never never land .
This is so thoughtful and comforting
sheesh
This is for the three or four clotshot compliant bicycle riders who crowd the thousands of miles of special bicycle paths they’ve constructed in place of street parking. To the victor go the spoils!
