[Paramedic Association of Canada(PAC) @PAC_Paramedic]

As we start Paramedic Week 2026, we also remember it’s the 20 year anniversary of the tragic loss of @BC_EHS Paramedics Kim Weitzel and Shawn Currier. Take a moment to remember and look out for each other

Today we recognized Emergency Service Dispatchers and 9-1-1 Awareness Week in British Columbia. Every day, emergency dispatchers serve as the vital first point of contact for people in crisis. Their work requires exceptional professionalism, resilience, and compassion.

I extend our deepest gratitude to emergency service dispatchers across the province. Your dedication saves lives, strengthens our communities, and exemplifies public service at its very best.
