Vial of Life
The Vial of Life program assists emergency personnel in obtaining important medical facts during a crisis in your home.
Paramedics who respond to your 911 call will look for the Vial of Life symbols and information to assist them in an emergency. This saves time and can save lives!
Pick-up a free Vial of Life kit from the St. Margaret's Bay Seniors Association Information Centre any Tuesday or Thursday from 10am to Noon and follow the simple instructions included. The Emergency Medical Information sheet is filled out for each person in the home, and stored in the vial in the refrigerator door.
The Vial of Life Program is recognized by all Ambulance, Police, Fire, and other emergency personnel throughout NS. It is highly recommended for everyone, and especially for people living alone, taking medication and who have chronic or disabling conditions.

The St. Margaret's Bay Seniors Association is a not for profit registered society whose purpose is to provide housing and accommodation options and assistance for seniors; to research and represent the interests of seniors living in the greater St. Margaret's Bay area; and, to promote and participate in the development of wellness living for seniors in the area. New members are welcome and you may join the Association at any of its public meetings.

The "Bay Seniors" website is another step in realizing the goal of our community working together to help seniors to continue living in good health in our St. Margaret's Bay area.
