Ontario Takes Saving Lives To Heart McGuinty Government Invests In More Defibrillators For Community Centres, Arenas, Schools Ontario families will have greater access to defibrillators to help if someone has a heart attack.

Ontario is bringing more of these life-saving machines to publicly funded sport and recreation centres and some schools, with busy recreational programs, to ensure they are close by in case of an emergency.

Tens of thousands of people will also be trained to use the machines and provide life saving CPR to respond quickly.

Ontario will also develop a registry to track where defibrillators are currently located and help identify where they need to be. This registry will also provide Emergency Service Workers (EMS) and the public with information on where to locate defibrillators.

This investment builds on the McGuinty government's commitment to promoting healthy Ontario families.
