by Sydney’s Open Hearth Park now has an automated external defibrillator available to the public.
The new defibrillator is part of the partnership between Emergency Health Services and the Jordan Boyd Foundation, named for the 16-year-old Bedford native who died during his first practice with the Acadie-Bathurst Titan in 2013.
Jordan’s father Stephen Boyd says he hopes the device will never be needed, but if it is, every minute counts and the quick access the device provides is critical to saving a life.
There are currently more than 1,200 defibrillators registered across the province.
