Heart Niagara to Provide Free Training in Celebration of CPR Month
Heart Niagara will be ofering 3 free training sessions in Niagara for lifesaving CPR skills in Welland, Niagara Falls and St. Catharines. Registration at info@heartniagara.com, space is limited.
Niagara Falls, Canada, November 04, 2015 --(PR.com)-- For 38 years, it's been Heart Niagara's mission to provide children and adults with the education, training and tools necessary to take control of their heart health. This November, in recognition of CPR Month, the non-profit organization is offering free CPR training sessions in Niagara Falls, St. Catharines and Welland.
As many as 40,000 cardiac arrests occur in Canada each year, and up to 85 per cent of these happen in public areas or homes. Although the majority of Canadians say they would recognize the signs if someone were experiencing a heart attack or another cardiac emergency, fewer than half say they have the skills to help in this common and life-threatening emergency.
Annually, Heart Niagara trains over 10,000 people in CPR and AED use. The ability to perform CPR and to know how to use an automatic external defibrillator (AED) can make a lifesaving difference. It's one of the easiest things you can learn that can make a true difference in another person's life.
