Tuesday, May 5 started out just like every other day for Wazir “Walter” Khan, a member of DTZ’s facility team at CentreCorp in East Toronto, Ontario. The day ended, however, with the saving of a life and revelation of a hero.

Around 1:30 p.m., a security team partner at the building suffered a cardiac emergency and was subsequently discovered unresponsive and in medical distress by Walter and a visiting FedEx employee. Walter administered life-saving CPR until emergency services arrived. Those emergency services personnel attribute the man's survival directly to Walter's actions.
Walter, however, downplayed his role in the incident. "It was the right thing to do. I was in the right place at the right time, and knew what I had to do to help. Teamwork helped save someone's life, and I am very proud of our efforts. You can count on me to make the same moves and efforts if another unfortunate event were to happen."

We are so proud of Walter for his quick thinking and ultimately life-saving actions and are thrilled to have him as part of the DTZ team. Way to go, Walter!
