EpiPen Access

Access When It Matters.

Your safety is our priority. We're prepared for the unexpected with life-saving medication to treat anaphylaxis.

Through our partnership with Food Allergy Canada, epinephrine devices (e.g. EpiPen®) are now available at Security located by the food court to support emergency response in the event of a severe allergic reaction.

Devices are available onsite, securely stored, routinely inspected, and administered only by trained, certified Security supervisors.
