Defibrillator installed at McLeese Lake Community Hall

Yesterday, I received confirmation that the McLeese Lake Community Hall now has an installed defibrillator, thanks to the BC Heart and Stroke's "Public Access to Defibrillation" program which you can find more details at

https://www.bcpadprogram.ca

The free defibillator also comes with training, also free of charge

My thanks to Cariboo RD Area 'C' Director John Massier, who also chairs the Cariboo-Chilcotin Regional Hospital District, who brought this innovative program to my attention and of all Directors' of the Cariboo Regional District Board

This will ensure that if one is having a heart attack at the McLeese Lake Community Hall that life saving medical intervention can be delivered quickly until paramedics can arrive
