Success Stories from LSCC

Defibrillators

The LSCC raised over $19,000 in 2006 to install defibrillators in 6 arenas in Sarnia Lambton, at Sarnia Police Services and in the Strangway Community Center.  Training for users was provided by the LSCC.  SEE BELOW

Ontario Mobile Municipal Emergency Operations Command Centre

In May 2007 the unveiling of the brand new Ontario Mobile Municipal Emergency Operations Command Centre took place at our 2nd annual Emergency Preparedness Day / RiskWatch Safety Fair event!  With 66 displays that year, we were one of the largest in North America, as we were in 2006!   Each year we keep growing and it is a wonderful event! 

                      

Contractor Safety Performance

The contractor safety performance, as measured by the Total Recordable Injury Rate (TRIR) improved from 1.9 over the prior 5 year period to 0.3 at the end of 2009.

RiskWatch Program Updated

Updated Canadian versions of the RiskWatch Program, including French versions, were purchased by LSCC in 2008 and distributed to elementary schools in the Lambton-Kent District School Board, St.Clair Catholic School Board, the French Schools and Christian Schools in Sarnia-Lambton.

The Sarnia-Lambton community experienced a RiskWatch "save"   

In December 2006, a 4 year old boy was choking on a grape while riding a bus, and a girl who learned the Heimlich manouever at a RiskWatch school, slapped him on the back, dislodged the grape and saved his life!

From the LSCC Annual Report for 2006-2007                                                 Report from Diane Sparling, Executive Director:

For me, the most exciting initiative to save lives this year (2006) was the defibrillator project.  Over $19,000 was raised for this initiative.  The Lambton Safe Community Council partnered with the City of Sarnia to provide defibrillators at the following locations in Sarnia:

The Lambton Safe Community Council provided a defibrillator for:

• Sarnia Arena at 134 Brock Street South, Sarnia;
• Clearwater Arena at 1400 Wellington Street, Sarnia;  
• Sarnia Sports & Entertainment Centre at 1455 London Road, Sarnia
• Mooretown Arena at 1166 Emily Street, Mooretown

• Sarnia Police Services on Christina Street North, Sarnia

The City of Sarnia provided a defibrillator for:

Over 30 city and county employees were trained at the IEC location to use the defibs.
