The City of Greater Sudbury’s Paramedic Services is presenting a free bystander hands-only CPR training session as part of Paramedic Services week. This session is in partnership with the Heart and Stroke foundation to help promote the “It Only Takes Two Hands” campaign. If provided immediately, effective bystander hands-only CPR greatly increases a victim’s chance of survival.

The session will take place Friday, May 29 at the Churchill Public School Gym  at 1722 Fielding Street from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m.  Upon completion, a Heart and Stroke Citizen CPR certification will be provided to participants. Donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation are not necessary but will be greatly appreciated.
