Legislation requiring defibrillators in public buildings takes effect

~Manitoba was the first province in the country to develop legislation requiring public places to have an automated external defibrillator (AED) available on site. Under the Defibrillator Public Access Act, designated facilities include several types of high-traffic public places where cardiac arrest is more likely to occur such as gyms, indoor arenas, certain community centres, golf courses, schools and airports.
