The Advanced Coronary Treatment (ACT) Foundation is the national charitable organization dedicated to establishing free CPR as a mandatory program in every Canadian high school. Over 5M students trained in CPR to date! The program is built on ACT’s award-winning community-based model of partnerships and support. ACT raises funds for training mannequins and program start-up resources for all high schools and guides schools in program set-up. Schools take ownership of the program and maintain it over the long term. High school teachers are trained as CPR and defibrillator instructors for their students (more than 6,000 teachers already trained) and ACT has already donated more than 50,000 durable mannequins to high schools, ensuring 1:1 mannequin / student ratio. While national in scope, ACT’s programs have deep community reach engaging schools in urban, rural and remote areas. To date, more than 2.9 million youth have been trained by their high school teachers, with an additional 320,000 being trained each year. Many lives are being saved!
