Membership Benefits

Your WCA membership includes additional benefits through the GBA and our corporate supporters. These benefits include:

Automated External Defibrillators (Action First Aid)

GBA members are entitled to a 25% discount on Action First Aid Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). Action First Aid offers excellent after-sales support & information, and will travel to the Bay to provide informative presentations/training sessions for your association if requested.

Action First Aid is offering GBA Members their HeartSine Samaritan 350P Defibrillator bundle for $1,250 (+HST). This defibrillator is affordable and easy to use and features:

    • 8-year warranty
    • AED/CPR First Aid Kit
    • AED Tracking & FULL CUSTOMER SUPPORT
    • 4-year Pad and Battery pack
    • Free replacement of pads & batteries if the AED is used in an emergency

Every second counts!  Especially in remote cottage locations where emergency response services are often not as available. The reality is without a defibrillator (AED) the chance of surviving sudden cardiac arrest is almost zero. Every minute that goes by, the chance of survival drops 10%. Sometimes we only have 10 minutes to save a life. The good news is, AEDs are very easy to use and belong everywhere – home, work and cottage! Action First Aid is helping businesses and home owners across Canada establish strong AED programs. Their experienced staff will help you from start to finish – choose the right machine, provide exceptional training, and track your pads and batteries.
