Frontenac Neighbours Saving Neighbours Volunteer Responder Pilot Program for cardiac arrest

Thank you for your interest in Neighbours Saving Neighbours. The program is now full. Any further applications will be kept on file in case any new volunteer opportunities emerge.

The Neighbours Saving Neighbours (NSN) Volunteer Responder Pilot Program aims to increase survival rates in those who suffer cardiac arrest in our communities. Once trained in CPR and equipped with automated external defibrillators (AED), volunteer responders will be dispatched to nearby cardiac-arrest emergencies to provide basic life support until paramedics arrive.
