Defibrillators

Squash Ontario has negotiated a partnership with The Mikey Network to offer members clubs a significant discount on the purchase of a defibrillator for their facility.

 

To help increase survival rates among victims of sudden cardiac arrest, the Heart and Stroke Foundation has advocated for the placement of Automated External Defibrillators (AED) in public or private places where large numbers of people gather, including sports and recreation facilities.  Cardiac arrests often occur in places where Canadians are engaged in strenuous physical activity.  CPR keeps the blood circulating to keep vital organs alive, but it takes defibrillation with an AED to resuscitate someone out of a cardiac arrest.

 

To Member Facility:  Significant discount as a benefit of membership

 

To non member facility:  Discount not available

Monthly Mailings – electronically and post

All tournament, coaching and officiating clinic flyers are circulated monthly for posting on club bulletin boards.  In addition, flyers in pdf format are circulated electronically to all squash professionals and club programmers so they can distribute directly to their members to keep them updated on squash activities.
