Thank You to our colleagues at the Mississauga Central Ambulance Communications Centre who dropped off these wonderful treats and notes for our team to recognize Paramedic Services Week!
In an emergency, your actions matter. Performing CPR, using an AED or administering naloxone for a suspected overdose while following instructions from a call taker can help save a life before paramedics arrive. Better care starts with you. #BetterCareStartsHere
As we celebrate #PSWeek2026, check out this message from Chief @TOMedics_Chawla as he recognizes the dedication, professionalism, and compassion our teams demonstrate in keeping Toronto’s residents and visitors safe every day.
“Behind every interaction is a person, a family, a story, & a moment that matters. Paramedics deliver not only expert care, but also compassion, reassurance, and dignity.” It's #ParamedicServicesWeek! Watch OAPC President @ChiefGSage's opening video here: https://t.co/FZ1mlCBzvW
