Personal Preparedness with Help from the Red Cross

Providing all workers with personal preparedness guidance is a new Accreditation Canada requirement. To support this, earlier last month we welcomed local Canadian Red Cross volunteers into the Hospital to help us promote best practice in personal preparedness. They provided an info booth at various times throughout Fire Prevention Week (October 6 to 12) and also provided a lunch time presentation open to all staff.

Some materials are attached for your reference below (including in English, French, Ojibway) to share with those you care about to help us all be better prepared for emergencies at home and in our community.

A draw was held for several giftcards and the winners were as follows: Drew Gawranski, Michelle Finner, Christine Jones, and Rajshree Deokaran Dat. Congratulations!

A hearty thank you to everyone who took the time to stop by and talk with the volunteers, particularly those who attended their “Be Prepared” talk.
