In Bruce County, and across the nation, Paramedic Services Week is May 21 to May 27, 2023. This year’s theme, as identified by the Paramedic Chiefs of Canada, is “Diversity in Paramedicine - The Patient. The Provider. The Profession”. This theme is intended to have a long-term purpose, with 2023 starting an important conversation that brings awareness to, and learning opportunities on, diversity in the health system and paramedicine environment.
