Vaughn Soccer Club Gets Their MIKEY (Defibrillator)

One of the latest MIKEY installations occurred at the Vaughan Soccer Club’s Vaughan Sportsplex2 indoor facility.

“Today, thanks to a generous grant from our sponsors, Heathwood Homes and The Heron Group of Companies, the Vaughan Soccer Club’s indoor training facility Vaughan Sportsplex2 NOW has a Mikey defibrillator installed in its building.

Vaughan Soccer is very pleased to have the defibrillator placed “in honour” of John Park, Chief Scout, Celtic FC – such a distinguished individual who means so much to the beautiful game of soccer.

In addition to the installation, a team of volunteers from both the Vaughan Soccer Club and Vaughan Sportsplex 2 underwent training to recognize the symptoms of heart attack and stroke, learned how to administer CPR and how to operate the defibrillator.

We hope that the defibrillator, together with our trained volunteers, will help save lives in the event of a cardiac emergency!
