Community Centres Now Equipped With Life-Saving AEDs
The Township recently installed two new outdoor, year-round SaveStation automated external defibrillators, one at the Walker’s Point Community Centre and the second at the Milford Bay Community Centre. These two facilities are community hubs for tennis, pickleball, basketball, hiking and more.
“The installation of these two new AEDs is a big step in safeguarding our community,” said Mayor Peter Kelley. “While I do hope there is never a need to use either of these AEDs, it is reassuring knowing they are there and available 24/7.”
Both SaveStations are located at the front door of each of the respective facilities. The wall-mounted AED lights up at night and it’s marked for public use. The technology built into this SaveStation allows for 24/7 monitoring to ensure it is always ‘ready for rescue’ and will take a picture, sound an alarm and flash a light strobe when the cabinet is opened. This cabinet also keeps the AED warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
