Ambulance industrial First Aid
team conducted an intensive four-
hour course in Cardio Pulmonary
Resuscitation.

Resident Geoff Fletcher said:

Successful completion of the
one-evening accredited course
resulted in a CPR Lifesaver Certif-
icate valid for two years.

Fletcher said at one time his life
was saved by a person who knew
CPR and used it.

A couple took the course
because of the husband’s history
of heart problems.

Fletcher believes that, from time
to time, it’s important to take a
refresher course, in the event of
being called on to help another
person.

Dave Tubman said the company
decided to offer the course at a
reduced rate, using donated time
and equipment, as an alternative to
soliciting funds door to door.

A four-man team, with one
alternate, will travel to England to
compete in the World Champion-
ships in early October. Money
raised will offset individual
expenses.

company does contract work for

mies, gurmeys and other equipment ~

for participants in Friday’s course
and emergency medical techni-
cians gave their time.

Over 40 people phoned to get
information prior to the course but
only eight people completed it, at
a reduced cost of $15, saving $10
off the regular fee.

holding other courses in the Great-
