US EditionTraining in life-saving skills including CPR now mandatory in P.E.I. high schools
- Beginning in 2025, Prince Edward Island will require high school students to complete training in CPR and the use of automated external defibrillators, with practical sessions held at schools such as Colonel Gray High School.
- The initiative was launched through a partnership involving the provincial government, the Advanced Coronary Treatment Foundation, and a community-based emergency doctor who played a key role in introducing the training to students on the Island.
- Teachers across the province received training to deliver the program, which includes opioid overdose response and uses mannequins funded partly by community donations and the government.
- Executive director Sandra Clarke said the program is a "real life skill that is immediately relevant," and Education Minister Robin Croucher demonstrated CPR at a school event.
- This program aims to empower students to save lives and increase awareness of overdose response, with positive feedback reported from schools across Canada including P.E.I.

Last week, children from Aston Lodge took part in a First Aid Schools session. They all absolutely loved taking part in this, learning so much along the way. The children went through a recap of all the essential first aid skills, then learnt all about CPR and even got the opportunity to use a defibrillator.Everyone listened brilliantly, and came away from the session with a knowledge on how to keep others safe. Well done!#WeListenToOthers
