Are you ready to save a life? Join us on Saturday, February 8th for the KSAN CPR Event to learn essential skills that can make a difference. This event is open to residents of all ages and experience levels.
Certified instructors will provide hands-on CPR training, teaching vital techniques like chest compressions, rescue breaths, and how to use an automated external defibrillator (AED). You'll leave with the confidence to act in emergencies, whether at home or in public.
You'll also have the chance to meet your neighbours and strengthen our community. This is a great opportunity to make new friends while helping keep our neighbourhoods safe.
Spaces are limited, so don’t miss your chance to learn and support our community’s livability. Sign up today and take the first step in keeping our neighbourhood safe. Together, we can make a difference!
For registration details and more information, please sign-up on our events page. We hope to see you there!
Help Save Kelowna’s Heritage Conservation Areas
In 1998, Kelowna created the Abbott Street and Marshall Street Heritage Conservation Areas (HCAs) to protect our historic neighborhoods. These areas are under 1.5 km², only 0.5% of the city, and draw residents and tourists. The Abbott Street HCA is a popular destination, known for its greenery and important trees.
