Donations from Cargill Community Groups Support Paramedic Services

Bruce County Paramedic Services would like to thank the Cargill Homecoming Committee for their generous donation of $3,000 and the Cargill & District Community Fund for their generous donation of $500. These funds will purchase stuffed animals for children that are treated and transported by Bruce County Paramedic Services. The stuffed animals will be Hereford cows that represent our famous Bruce County "Big Bruce" that has resided in Arran-Elderslie since 1980 and was named Ontario’s greatest roadside attraction in 2021.

“It has been identified through our training that items like a stuffed animal can help relax children,” says Paramedic Services Chief Steve Schaus. “Bruce County Paramedic Services is very honoured that the Cargill Homecoming Committee and Cargill & District Community Fund thought of us and our youngest patients when seeking community initiatives to support.”

Warden Luke Charbonneau adds, “I’m so proud of the thoughtfulness and amazing generosity of the people of Bruce County. Thank you so much to the community groups of Cargill for these generous donations that will help provide added comfort and calm for children receiving care from our Bruce County Paramedics.”

Bruce County Paramedic Services employs a staff of about 100 Full-time and Part-time paramedics that provide pre-hospital care to citizens and visitors of Bruce County. We respond to medical and trauma emergencies with a fleet of 13 ambulances and 3 supervisor units that serve, and can be deployed to, communities across the County.
