You can learn to perform CPR for free this month in Niagara.
Heart Niagara is celebrating CPR Month by offering free training at two sessions.
Annually, Heart Niagara trains over 10,000 people in CPR and AED use.
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.
During CPR Month, two Heart Saver CPR certification sessions will take place at Heart Niagara’s new location on Queen Street in Niagara Falls, on Monday, November 21st, 5:30pm-8:00pm, and Saturday, November 26th, 9:00am-11:30am.
Participants will learn essential lifesaving skills by using a CPR Anytime Kit ($35 value), under the instruction of Heart Niagara’s instructors.
Registration for the free CPR training is required and space is limited to 25 people per session.
Children 10+ are welcome to participate if accompanied by a parent or guardian, but they must also be registered.
