Help Us Make Riverview Park a Cardiac Safe Community!
My wife, two children & I have been a part of the Riverview Park Community for 4 years. I’m a Veteran of the Canadian Forces where I served as a medic for 12 years. Currently, I work as a Firefighter in Ottawa. My wife and I have decided as a family to spearhead an initiative that will place an outdoor AED in our community which will be accessible 24/7.
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is still one of the leading causes of death and can happen to anyone, anywhere and at any time. There are approximately 40,000 out of hospital SCAs in Canada each year but only 10% of people survive. Access to an AED combined with CPR can increase the chance of survival by 75%!
Let’s make Riverview Park a Cardiac Safe Community and empower everyone with the power to save a life. Join me to make this happen by making a donation to help place this outdoor SaveStation with a life-saving AED in our community.
My Updates
Watch this quick CPR & AED training refresher video and learn how to use the AED that will be inside our SaveStation!
We're fundraising to make this SaveStation, with a life-saving AED, accessible to our neighbours 24/7!
SaveStations belong everywhere!
We all need the power to take action!

Great initiative. Thanks for taking the lead. Cardiac arrest has impacted my father and the more tools we have out there the better.



Great initiative Sergio!
