Message in a Bottle
For the Residents of North Dundas and brought to you, free of charge, by the Chesterville & District, Mountain & District and Winchester Lions Clubs located in North Dundas, Ontario.
When time is saved, lives are saved!!
Message in a Bottle is a voluntary program for anyone living at home who may feel reassured to know that essential information is readily available to First Responders should there be an medical emergency at home. Some illnesses cause confusion or affect our ability to communicate effectively. It only takes a little imagination to figure out many reasons why this program might be for you!
When Emergency Services see medical information and personal details of a patient, they can render safer and speedier First Aid by cutting time-consuming fact-finding inquiries about the patient.
