DYK there’s an app called @What3Words you can use to help Paramedics pinpoint your location quickly in an emergency? It’s fast, easy, and could help save a life. Download after the link before you head out onto the lakes and trails: https://t.co/cGnD3yomGr #InFrontenac#YGK
There's Frontenac Paramedic Julie with a new Cardiac Arrest Save pin. Pins are awarded to paramedics who treat a patient for cardiac arrest who in turn goes on to recover well enough to be discharged from hospital. It’s a great day to save a life! Well done, Julie!
A gentle reminder to all to pull over and stay clear of emergency vehicles with emergency lights on, whether rolling or parked. You could help save a life.
And it's the law. . .

There are Frontenac Paramedics Rhiannon and Kim with members of the 4H Club at Glenburnie United Church yesterday evening. There was a great intro to first-aid session and lots of curiosity about what it's like to be a paramedic. Thanks for the invite!

There are Frontenac Paramedics PCP Scott (center) with ACPs Trevor and Julie celebrating Scott's last day of ACP preceptorship . . . This means Scott has fulfilled the requirements to become an Advanced Care Paramedic! Congratulations, Scott! Nicely done! . . . . Cake!
There’s a brand new Frontenac Paramedics ambulance, just delivered last week with fewer than 100km on it so far: An important step toward preparing and equipping us for the future.

There's a really nice shot of a patient transfer at the airport in Kingston earlier today with the visiting @GoodyearBlimp in the background.
What a great shot! Taken by a Frontenac Paramedics' family member. Thank you, young sir!

We must censor the Internet to counter the spread of misinformation, say global leaders. But only free speech, not censorship, can counter misinformation. The real reason they want mass online censorship is so they won't keep getting called out for spreading disinformation.
We had a visitor today at the Paramedic Base at Robertsville Road and Road 509. She had a drink and then headed off north towards Robertsville Road the last we saw @ approximately 15:30. Very sweet girl and when she left, she was nose to the ground on the hunt!
Another milestone this afternoon as Frontenac Paramedic Dianne Nielsen made her last call after more than 26 years as a paramedic and ambulance communications officer in the region.
Congratulations, D! Happy retirement and thank you for your service.
It’s #ALSAwarenessMonth when we remember our colleague Dale Hodgins who died with ALS in 2020. The #YGK#WalktoEndALS is June 15 from Lake Ontario Park.

Every little bit helps :-) #Paramedics
In 2020, Sam Gagner remembered his good friend and @EdmontonOilers legend Joey Moss: “When I was drafted by Edmonton, I thought of the Oilers’ dynasty years, the Stanley Cups they had won and the Hall of Fame players who had worn the jersey. Now, as I look back on my time there and think about what it means to be an Edmonton Oiler, I think about Joey Moss. He gave everything he had to the city of Edmonton and took so much pride in calling himself an Oiler. If my stall was unkempt, or my laundry bag was left out, I heard about it from Joey. If I came to the rink with my hair disheveled, I’d hear from Joey about how I must have brushed my hair with a pork chop.
The banter between Joey and the guys in that dressing room was what made playing in Edmonton so special. He really was the heart and soul of all of those teams. I had the best game of my career in February of 2012, and I received calls afterwards from Wayne Gretzky and Paul Coffey — which was incredibly special and something I’ll never forget. But the number one memory I have from that night, was being the last player at the rink with Joey and the other trainers. Joey went to the back fridge and grabbed a couple beers because he said he was proud of me and wanted to celebrate with me. That’s just the kind of person Joey was....
I will always cherish everything about our relationship. The sleepover nights, the bowling alley, the wrestling matches, the banter back and forth, the way Joey would light up a room with his smile. Most of all, I’ll remember the way Joey made me feel. The way he made everyone feel.
When I remember Joey, I’ll think about how we believed all along that we were doing all these things to enrich his life….. but the truth is that he was enriching ours. Joey made everyone who spent time with him a better person. The fact that he had Down syndrome didn’t matter to him — and it didn’t matter to us, either. He was just one of the guys and that is what made him so special.” https://t.co/KJFaPRK9XS
Very strong solar storm happening at the moment.
If it lasts and the clear sky holds, it could make for some spectacular Aurora Borealis visible in areas away from light pollution tonight/tomorrow night. Best place to view locally is Dark Sky Viewing Area: https://t.co/CTarADKyac
