The Couchiching Conservancy is pleased to announce The Couchiching Conservancy is pleased to announce the installation of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) at Grant's Woods Nature Reserve, enhancing safety for the thousands of visitors who enjoy the trails annually. This vital addition was made possible through a generous grant from the Orillia Community Foundation, underscoring our commitment to the well-being of our community. Grant's Woods Nature Reserve, spanning 52-acres in Orillia, Ontario, is a cherished natural oasis renowned for its biodiversity and scenic trails. It serves as a sanctuary for diverse species and a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, attracting over 7,000 visitors each year. The installation of the AED and its accessible external cabinet further ensures that visitors can explore and enjoy the reserve with enhanced peace of mind. "We are deeply grateful to the Orillia Community Foundation for their support in making this project a reality," said Tanya Clark, Fundraising & Engagement Manager at The Couchiching Conservancy. "Their generous grant has enabled us to purchase the AED through the County of Simcoe, a crucial partner in our community efforts." The Couchiching Conservancy extends heartfelt thanks to Pam Paylor for her dedicated volunteer efforts in securing the grant and also to Bill Routhier for overseeing the installation process. Their commitment exemplifies the spirit of community collaboration that is essential to our conservation efforts.
