A New Brunswick ski resort is looking into what can be done after a defibrillator was stolen from their offices.

The Mont Farlagne Outdoor Centre, a resort in northwestern New Brunswick, wrote in a Facebook post that the device had been stolen on the evening of Dec. 28, from a cabinet next to the facility’s cafeteria.

“Needless to say, we are very disappointed with this situation,” the resort wrote.

“This instrument saves lives.”

An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable device that will shock the heart to restore normal rhythms in the event of a heart attack or cardiac arrest.

The resort’s AED was provided by the Heart and Stroke Foundation and they describe the tool as a necessity due to the number of people that use their facilities.
