Huron County Paramedics committed to community safety

Huron County's Warden is taking the opportunity to thank the region's 108 paramedics.

Glen McNeil issued a statement to mark Paramedic Services Week 2024 which takes place from May 19 to 25.

“Huron’s Paramedics are always there when we most need them, going above and beyond to keep us safe” said Huron County Warden Glen McNeil. “I am immensely grateful for paramedic team and this week is a chance for us to thank them and to recognize their unwavering commitment to keeping our community safe and healthy.”

This year’s Paramedic Service Week theme is “Help Us, Help You”.

Community members can support local paramedics by having well-lit house numbers and driveways, clearing sidewalks from snow and ice, and learning what is or is not a 911 emergency.

The County of Huron’s Emergency Services team, including paramedics, provides emergency medical care and coordinates emergency response efforts with other local emergency service providers, such as 911 dispatch, fire services, and local law enforcement.
