CPR CERTIFICATION/RE-CERTIFICATION
On Saturday, March 29th we had a very enjoyable morning workshop with Mark Halladay, Head of Kingston Ambulance Services, who offered instruction in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). There were 16 parishioners attending the workshop. Training was given in CPR for adults and infants, as well as assistance for someone who is choking and use of a defibrillator. Those who attended will receive a certificate of certification.
In 2010, Father Michael Reed made application to the Ontario Trillium Foundation for assistance in putting a new platform lift in the entrance to the Blessed Sacrament church hall. The project was approved in 2011 and a grant for $23,000 was received from the OTF. We extend many thanks for their financial assistance. The Lift Committee (Deacon Don DiRocco, Rudy Gervais, Ben Greenwood, and Gord McDonald) did an amazing job in choosing Upper Canada to install the lift. The Installation and Renovations Group (Ben Greenwood, Gord McDonald, Paul Godfrey, Tim Johnson, Peter Geris and Buzz Hanley) worked hard to complete all the requirements necessary to complete the project.
On Saturday, July 13th, a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially launch our new platform lift (installed August 15, 2012) was held in the Blessed Sacrament Church hall. The event began with coffee and refreshments at 10:30 am, followed by presentations from invited dignitaries and the ribbon-cutting ceremony at 11:00 am. We thank Jacqueline Franklin from the Trillium Foundation, Betty Martin (Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington Constituency), Bill Lowry (Mayor Loyalist Township), Deacon Don DiRocco and all those who participated in this event!
