Defibrillators installed at BC Ferry terminals

Automatic External Defibrillators have been installed at minor ferry terminals across the coast.

Spokesperson Deborah Marshall says heart disease and stroke take a life every 7 minutes in Canada.

She notes the location of every device has been registered with the BC Public Access to Defibrillation Program – which means if a call is made to 911, the dispatcher can inform the caller where exactly the AED is located.
