Today is Good Samaritan Day!

A reminder that helping someone in need can make a real difference. In Canada, the Good Samaritan principle encourages people to step in during an emergency without fear of legal consequences, provided they act responsibly and within their training. Even small, timely actions, like calling for help, providing basic first aid, or staying with someone until help arrives, can save lives. Be prepared, know your limits, and remember: doing something is always better than doing nothing.
