Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
The Long Point AED unit is once again located under the John Grieve Memorial at the tennis courts in a protective hard case. Note that when the unit is removed from the case, a GPS tracker is enabled. In addition, there is a 911 button that can be pushed to reach a 911 operator.
Check out these instructional videos on how to use this new, life-saving addition to our community.
Check out this flyer if you are interested in purchasing your own personal AED for you and your family.
First Aid, AED & CPR courses are also available here, at actionfirstaid.ca.
Long Point Railway
You may be surprised to learn that Long Point has its very own railroad. Mind you, it’s too small for any of us to ride on it. It’s in the basement of the Budd cottage at 74 Maple Avenue!

BLACK BEARS
There have been numerous sightings of black bears on and around the point. Be mindful of keeping your properties free of items that have an odour. This includes not only securing your food and garbage, but also items such as toothpaste, soap, lotions, deodorant or bug sprays (especially citronella).
