⚠️ Emergency preparedness is everyone's responsibility!
This spring thaw, commonly known as the freshet, is a result of snow and ice moving and melting into our lake and river systems, which can last for weeks as the snowpack melts.
Spring water levels can rise fast. Residents and visitors to Muskoka are encouraged to know the potential risks and hazards, and to plan ahead. Be prepared!

Commander Darcy Medland and Janine van den Heuvel with the Algonquin Family Health Team present at the @OAPCMedia 2025 CP Expo, speaking about collaboration and how Community #Paramedics are supporting patients without primary care providers in Muskoka.
@MuskokaPS have been using their RRV to get to patients as Gravenhurst digs out from the snowstorm. Check out our interview with @chief_mcwilliam about this extremely important - and super cool - piece of equipment! https://t.co/8RtaDRbE0Q
Does your 911 sign look like this right now? Have a look and make sure it's clear so Paramedics and other responders can get to you in an emergency.

Winter has arrived! Your #Paramedics want you to be safe so here are a few tips:
- clear you 911 signs and create a path for responders
- check on your neighbours, family, and friends
- take breaks when shoveling
- slow down on the roads and enjoy the view!
Ontario's paramedics are champions of care, connecting families to the emergency services they need.
Our government is proud to work hand-in-hand with the Ontario Association of Paramedic Chiefs as we expand 9-1-1 models of care and increase ambulance funding in communities.
Thank you @FordNation for taking time to meet with us today as part of our advocacy day at Queen’s Park. We know you’re a great supporter of Ontario’s paramedics and are grateful for your ongoing engagement.

It’s hard to believe it is the 10th anniversary the #IceBucketChallenge in support of #ALS research. We were nominated by @DurhamParamedic and we’re happy to rise to the challenge. We have nominated our friends at @simcoecountyPS.
As we honour Ontario's important historical figures this #CivicHoliday weekend, join us in acknowledging the first responders & healthcare providers who have been safeguarding our communities for generations. They have made many sacrifices that have been integral to our province.
While the #Pride flag hangs proudly at our headquarters, it's important to remember that being aware and inclusive is more than symbolic, and must be reflected by our actions. #HappyPrideMonth! #pride2024#PrideMonth
