In 2024, we partnered with GNB’s Department of Health to launch the AED Subsidy Program, saving organizations $67,110 in AED-related costs. This initiative improves the availability of AEDs, providing communities across New Brunswick with the tools they need to save lives.
Through the program, we supported 32 organizations this year, including River Valley Ground Search and Rescue. Although they already owned an AED, their equipment needed critical updates.
“Having an AED allows us to provide life-saving care,” said Lucas Fearn.
After hearing about the program through local agencies, the organization reached out, knowing their supplies were nearing expiry. Lucas described the application process as seamless, highlighting the support provided every step of the way.
“Programs like these help us source life-saving equipment on a budget,” he added.
In 2025, we’re committed to expanding the AED Subsidy Program, ensuring even more businesses and organizations can access the tools they need to make a life-saving difference in their communities.
