🫶A meaningful moment in downtown Minden this morning.

Community members, Council, OPP, and ambulance services all gathered together for the unveiling of a new public access AED—now installed at the information kiosk across from the post office.

👏 Generously donated by Matt & Deborah from Boshkung Brewing, in memory of Don & Diane Banks—a beautiful way to honour their legacy while giving back to the community they loved.

This life-saving device is now right in the heart of town, accessible when it matters most.

✨ It’s moments like this that remind us what makes Minden so special.
