High School Students Empowered to Save Lives

November 28, 2008

The BC Ambulance Service (BCAS) and the Ambulance Paramedics of British Columbia - CUPE Local 873 work in partnership with the ACT Foundation and community partners to bring the ACT High School CPR Program to all BC public secondary schools. To date, the program has been established in 147 BC schools and 83,000 students have been trained.

On November 28, two new schools joined them, when the High School CPR program was successfully launched in School District No. 43 Coquitlam and School District No. 35 Langley. These launches helped celebrate November's CPR Awareness Month.
