On the CPS Facebook page Saturday, the department shared the story of their actions that night.
“On Feb. 4, 2024, Rajdeep Cheema noticed a man experiencing a medical emergency at the Calgary International Airport, and immediately began performing CPR.
"Two off-duty nurses, Sheri Warkentin and Denise Geck, had just gotten off an incoming flight and were walking to their connecting flight, when they recognized the medical event in progress.
“Sheri and Denise quickly took over performing CPR, allowing Rajdeep to find a nearby AED.
