Even the best equipment is useless if people are afraid to use it. 🫀

A lot of focus this month has been on AEDs: tracking their locations, keeping them maintained and making sure they’re ready. All of it matters.

But the AED can’t do it alone. We need to help members of the public Become a willing bystander™.
When people at the scene get involved in the first few critical minutes and use the available AED, patient outcomes and survival rates are much improved. 💪

Be willing. Be ready. Respond with confidence.

Fire Safety Month reminder: when a small fire starts, remember PASS. 🧯

🔴 Pull the pin
🔴 Aim at the base of the fire
🔴 Squeeze the lever
🔴 Sweep from side to side

Keep an exit at your back. If the fire spreads or the smoke builds, get out and call 9-1-1.

⚠️ Pro tip: it only works if you know where the extinguisher is. “Somewhere in the garage” is not a location. 😅

Respond.With.Confidence!!

🚨 9-1-1 Backup Phone Numbers:

Yesterday, one of our most important and dependable services experienced some failures and inconsistencies with the emergency 9-1-1 line. While the system is reportedly back online, issues may still pop up again.

What to do if 911 fails again:
👉 Redial: Try calling 911 again immediately.
👉 Use Alternative Methods: Try a landline, a phone on a different cellular carrier, or Wi-Fi calling if cellular service is unstable.
👉 Call Direct Backup Lines: Call the provincial non-emergency number (1-888-310-1122) or your local police service's direct contact line.

🚨 Do Not Test: Never call 911 just to check if the system is working. 🚨

🚨 911 response time is not one number. It is three delays, and the first one can be you waiting to call. 🚑⏱️📞

This quick breakdown shows what slows response (traffic, weather, distance) and what to do when you are unsure. If you think you need help, make the call. Share this.

Heading out on a summer getaway or spending extra time by the water with family this holiday season? ☀️🏖️ As we pack our bags and head to the cottage or pool, keeping safety top of mind ensures everyone enjoys a worry-free break.

Contrary to what we see in movies, drowning rarely involves shouting or splashing, it is almost always a silent event. 🔇

In Canada, drowning is the leading cause of accidental death for children aged 1–4. Over 56% of child drownings occur in swimming pools, and more than 21% happen in bathtubs (with 73% involving infants under age one).

Recognizing the silent drowning signs is critical while keeping eyes on the water:
🔹 Head low in the water with mouth at surface level
🔹 Glassy, unfocused, or closed eyes
🔹 Vertical body position with minimal leg movement

Knowing proper water safety emergency response—including immediate bystander CPR for drowning and rolling a victim onto their side if they vomit—can save a life before paramedics arrive.
