Safety First: CPR and First Aid Classes
By: RJ Jones
Friends, sorry to get real with you but crisis moments can happen at any time with absolutely no warning. Especially this time of year where there are many icy spots; it is unfortunately not uncommon for someone (and it could be anyone) to become critically injured from slipping and falling. We can do our best to prevent these moments from happening in the first place, but when they do, being prepared can prevent serious injury and even save lives
As runners in this area in particular, we are often off on remote roads and trails where emergency services cannot easily or readily reach you, so it is important for as many community members as possible to be trained in First Aid and CPR because you never know when you might need them. This is why I am pleased to announce that UVRC and Leb Rec will be sponsoring a First Aid and CPR training class!
Our first class (because hopefully this will be a recurring event) will be offered Saturday 4 March 2023, 0900-1500 at Lebanon City Hall. Space will be limited so we can only have up to 50 people. BUT we will happily set up another class at a later date if there are more people who are interested or if you cannot make this class. This class will be FREE and also lunch will be provided!
