Free CPR Courses at the Carindale Library
Over the last few months I have received many requests for Council to put on free CPR and First Aid courses for the community.
I’m pleased to announce that through my ward office, we will be funding a series of free CPR courses later this year.
The first of these is taking place on Wednesday 2nd November from 1pm-4pm in the large meeting rooms at the Carindale Library.

Last week I went with Shannon from OzHarvest Brisbane to pick up and deliver food to Brisbane Youth Service in Winstanley St.

New look for Carindale Library
