Red Cross Urging Folks To Receive CPR Training

The Canadian Red Cross is encouraging everyone to receive CPR training.

The request comes following the rescue of a 3-year-old boy at the beach in Anicinabe Park.

The boy was saved by a Manitoba man who performed CPR.

Red Cross Spokesperson Carol Peterson says it can be a number one priority in saving someone's life and giving that extra time for paramedics to arrive.

Peterson says the Red Cross provides all levels of training as well as first aid and CPR.
