First Aid on the Streets: Sneak peek at new video series

What would you do if you came across a bleeding or unconscious person, or someone experiencing a heart or panic attack? What would you do if Canadian comedian and game show host Adam Growe came up to you on the street to test your first aid knowledge?

Several Canadians had that experience recently when Adam took to the streets of Toronto to find out what the average person knows about handling commonplace emergency situations. And we brought along cameras to capture the reactions!

We wanted to know if you could help someone who was bleeding, choking, needed CPR, had an allergic reaction, or a mental health emergency. We worked with Adam to stage these scenarios on the street and invited passers-by to participate. The results is the video series First Aid on the Streets, launching this week on YouTube and Facebook.
