Incredible afternoon myself, Abby @EMSTherapydog and Marsha McCall @mmccall111 were presented with the Award of Excellence from the Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia for starting the Therapy Dog program with @BC_EHS
It’s never any fun when your blocks include Fri and Sat nights. I watched our staff get pretty beat up last night. So I wanted to take a sec & recognize and thank everyone who worked last
You are all true professionals that sacrifice a lot 24/7 for our pt’s @BC_EHS
517,301. That's how many times @BC_EHS#dispatchers and emergency call takers such as Tara Lee, Gary, Megan and Jason were a lifeline for patients across BC in 2017. If @BC_EHS has made a difference in your life, you can #ShareThanks: https://t.co/HDWicKvr9S

Keep kids safe – protect children from window falls as temperatures rise in BC. Paramedics & physicians from @BC_EHS & @BCChildrensHosp strongly urge parents/caregivers to ensure their windows/balconies are secure: https://t.co/hCkRSz1nGE

Listen to what #BCEHS paramedic
Marilyn Oberg has to say on keeping children safe from window and balcony falls. A window screen will not prevent a child’s fall.
We’ve had 2 separate incidences of toddlers falling out of upper windows over the last 2 days in the Lower Mainland Please, please, please have conversations with friends family & neighbours on how dangerous an open window can be with young children around @BC_EHS@marilynoberg
Ottawa Paramedic's Therapy Dog Max featured on CTV news. Tracy Faraday, Max's handler was the person that helped me get the dog program going in Vancouver... https://t.co/AWROye6kIm
.@medictherapydog is a little tired, but that's because he's a good boy who works very hard. 12/10. Would pet. @OttawaParamedic https://t.co/7d0jsgGx7t
The #Premier of BC wanted a first-hand look at the #overdose crisis from the perspective of our #BCEHS paramedics.
John Horgan went 'lights and sirens' with paramedic Brian Twaites today.
I just watched the After the Sirens documentary on Paramedics and PTSD, I have nothing but respect for our members and the Paramedics from other Provinces who had the strength and courage to tell their stories.

It is with incredible sadness that inform you that our deputy has passed away from his injuries. We are with his family now, and we ask that you please keep his family, friends, and our department in your thoughts and prayers.
