Information posted October 5, 2013
Our October 2013 Chapter Community meetings will be held as usual in both Milton and Burlington.
In response to a number of requests we have invited experts from St John Ambulance who will be presenting CPR training at both locations. We encourage all of you to take advantage of this training. We never want to be confronted with an emergency but if we are we need to be prepared. No matter how much you think you know can you answer the question:
Would YOU Know What to Do?
Our Milton meeting will be held on Wednesday October 9th at the Seniors Activity Centre, 500 Childs Drive, Milton
Our Burlington meeting will be held on Tuesday October 22nd at the Seniors Centre, 2285 New Street, Burlington.
Our meetings at both locations will be held in the evening. Doors will open at 6.30pm and CPR training will take place between 7.00pm and 9.00pm. Coffee and tea will be available.
Both meetings will begin with a welcoming address from our Chairperson, Tom Carrothers.
Tom will also provide an update on your CARP Halton Chapter and CARP National activities.
This will be followed by our featured presentations.
At Milton we will welcome Hilda Tiggelaar. Hilda is a retired licenced practical nurse who has been teaching First Aid and CPR for St. John Ambulance for 21 years.
At Burlington we will welcome Gary Jack. Gary is a retired teacher who has been teaching First Aid and CPR for St. John Ambulance for 29 years.
Our experts will present the WHEN, WHY, WHO, and WHAT of CPR. The proper technique of CPR will be demonstrated. They will also demonstrate the use of the Automated External Defibrillator.
CPR saves lives. Whether this will be your first training session on this vital technique or whether this is an opportunity to brush up your knowledge we strongly encourage you to take advantage of this presentation. Don’t miss this opportunity. Don’t ever be caught in a situation where YOU don’t know what to do.
There will be a break midway through the meeting during which you will be able to chat to our presenters and to obtain information from our sponsors.
We will be very pleased to welcome the following sponsors. We would like to thank them for their support. They will all have tables where you will be able to chat with their representatives and pick up additional information.
