• every year 40,000 Canadians die from Sudden Cardiac Arrest
• with CPR and AED use chances of survival increase by up to 50%.
• Hands only CPR is easy to learn and it saves lives

On June 1st, BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) paramedics, emergency call takers and dispatchers will be offering the public free, hands-only CPR training and AED awareness courses for the first time in BC.

The high profile ‘Be A Life Saver’ event will see BCEHS take over Robson Square in downtown Vancouver for the first ever public mass CPR training event in BC. From 11am to 6pm, training will be provided in 30min sessions to members of the public visiting or working in Vancouver. With this training they will be able to be a life saver at home, at work and in their communities. Our goal is to train over 1,500 members of the public in these essential lifesaving skills.
