Grade Tens Learn CPR

Alberta Education added CPR certification to their phys-ed program for the first time this year. 

Curt Colfer, phys-ed teacher at Highwood High, says he's not expecting them to save lives right away, but it's still a good idea.

"The idea is if we implement it in a program for them and they go back voluntarily to re-cert the program year after year," he said, "then hopefully we'll have more and more people who are CPR heartsavers that are out walking around our community."

Colfer says he'll start teaching the course in November.
