Ambulance Paramedics Of BC

03/26/2026

On Purple Day, we stand with everyone living with epilepsy.

For paramedics and dispatchers, seizures are not rare calls — they’re human moments. A child at school. A co-worker at work. A parent at home. Families facing fear and uncertainty in seconds.

Awareness changes outcomes. Calm helps care. Compassion builds trust.

Wear purple. Learn what to do. Talk about it openly.

Because reducing stigma can be just as important as treatment. 💜

Paramedics. Families. Everyone. We need your voices — now. We have submitted a brief to the Standing Committee on Finance in the House of Commons. Every letter of support for the National Paramedic Monument from a Member of Parliament (MP) carries with it a tremendous amount of weight. Deliberations on the new budget are coming in April. This is an urgent request for you to join the CPMF in mobilizing our MPs to support the monument.

We’re asking paramedics — past and present — and their families across Canada to take one simple action:

📩 Send a letter (we provide it) to your Member of Parliament.

We’ll identify your MP and provide their email address — all you have to do is send it.

This is how we secure federal support for the National Paramedic Monument in Ottawa.

MPs listen when their constituents speak — especially when those voices come from those who have served on the front lines and the families who support them.

This is something we need to accomplish — together — right now.

Paramédics. Familles. Tout le monde.

On a besoin de vos voix — maintenant.

Nous avons déposé un mémoire au Comité permanent des finances de la Chambre des communes. Chaque lettre d’appui au Monument national des paramédics signée par un député fédéral a un poids considérable.

Les délibérations entourant le prochain budget auront lieu en avril.

Il s’agit d’un appel urgent : joignez-vous à la Fondation commémorative des paramédics canadiens pour mobiliser vos députés en appui au monument.

On invite les paramédics — actuels et anciens — leurs familles, et l’ensemble de la population canadienne à poser un geste simple :

📩 Envoyer une lettre (fournie) à votre député.

On identifie votre député et on vous fournit son adresse courriel — vous n’avez qu’à l’envoyer.

C’est comme ça qu’on obtient l’appui du gouvernement fédéral pour le Monument national des paramédics à Ottawa.

Les députés écoutent leurs citoyens — surtout quand ces voix viennent de celles et ceux qui ont servi sur le terrain et des familles qui les soutiennent.

C’est quelque chose que nous devons accomplir — ensemble — dès maintenant.

👉 2 minutes
👉 Un impact national

Écrivez-nous dès maintenant via Messenger pour recevoir votre lettre — ou par courriel à hal.newman@paramedicmemorial.org

Joignez-vous à nous. Aidons à le bâtir.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day from your paramedics and dispatchers 💚

While many are celebrating today, we’re still here — on the road, in dispatch, and ready when you need us.

If you’re heading out, plan a safe ride home, look out for your friends, and don’t hesitate to call if something feels wrong. A quick call early can prevent a much harder night.

Have fun, celebrate responsibly, and take care of each other.
Sláinte — and stay safe.

Today we celebrate the women who make our profession stronger every single day.

Across British Columbia, women serve as paramedics, dispatchers, call takers, educators, leaders, and advocates for patients.

Your compassion, skill, and resilience make a difference in countless lives.

Happy International Women’s Day to the incredible women of our service.

Your work matters. Your leadership matters. Your voice matters.

Happy International Women’s Day.

International Women’s Day is a moment to recognize the women who came before us, the women serving today, and the women who will shape the future of paramedicine.

Your dedication, leadership, and compassion continue to move this profession forward.

Thank you for everything you do.

Paramedicine is stronger because of the women who serve in it.

From the ambulance to the dispatch centre, from education to leadership, women across our profession continue to break barriers and lift others up.

On March 8th, we celebrate you.

Happy International Women’s Day.
