BOHC Emergency Response Training --
Learn how to respond confidently in a cardiac emergency. This October 14th, join us for a series of 1-hour, in-person demonstrations led by Halton Paramedics in partnership with the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada. These practical sessions will teach you vital life-saving skills — because knowing what to do in those critical moments could help save a teammate’s life.
Cardiac arrest can happen without any warning, at any age, at any time, to people of all fitness levels. CardiacCrash will help you learn what to do and how to help.
CardiacCrash is NOT like any other CPR training program!
CardiacCrash is intense, interactive and fun. It involves an immersive film scenario, some team competition, some quick thinking and some CPR practice – but most importantly, you’ll be learning life skills that really matter and could save a life.
A few things to know ahead of your CardiacCrash Experience:
- Teams and CPR Groups – You’ll be assigned to both a Team and a CPR group.
- Energy and voices – Arrive ready to help your team win points by yelling out answers to questions.
- Timing – The experience will run about an hour.
- Clothing – There will be CPR practice sessions where you’ll be kneeling on the floor. Try to come with clothing that’s comfortable and won’t gape or ride up.
- Adaptations – Anyone can participate in this program. Just let your facilitator know if you require any adaptations and they’ll work with you to find solutions.
- Emotions – We know this can be a tough topic and that there is a wide range of lived experience.
Please feel supported and safe to determine your own level of involvement to ensure your well-being.
