More defibrillator units installed in Potton
Potton citizens can now access three more defibrillators at various locations throughout the township in an emergency situation. Thanks to a group of generous residents who make up the homeowners’ association in their area, a unit was purchased recently and has been installed at 40 Chemin Des Ostryers (in the Sugar Loaf Pond area of Potton). This area is situated in a rural part of Potton and the association/residents concerned with the well-being of all citizens wanted to see this vital piece of equipment made available. In the photo, the association’s President, Mrs. Ragnhild Laporte poses with Potton Preventionist, James Bouthillier beside the unit.
The Municipality of Potton Fire Department and Civil Security committee recently announced the installation of two more defibrillator units that have been installed in both of the local elementary schools; Le Baluchon at 330 ch. Principale and Mansonville Elementary located at 5 ch. Marion Atwell. With these two additions, there are now 10 units in Potton Township. In the second photo we see Potton Preventionist, James Bouthillier, Mayor Michael Laplume and Marc Archambault, Building Technicien at the Commission Scolaire des Sommets.
