Friday, May 29, 2026 is a day that will be remembered by Rotarian Chris Reed, centre. While out doing some errands, Chris suffered a heart attack. Lucky for him, Aiden Devos, left, and Lucas Wheatley, right, both staffers with the Municipality of Brighton, were close by and rushed over to help. A requirement of the job is to have a current first aid certification. This came in handy when they saw Chris drive his car into the curb. They helped him and called 9-1-1. Paramedics Meredith Lortie and Lindsay Wing arrived in short order and ensured him a quick trip to Peterborough Hospital where he was treated and released the following Tuesday.
The Club turned out in full force to thank Lucas and Aiden for their efforts that day.
Thanks to all first responders and those who help in any emergencies. You are all appreciated.
