September 2, 1998 — we remember Swissair Flight 111.

The loss of 229 lives left a lasting mark on Nova Scotia and communities across the province. For the first responders prepared to rush toward the scene, the tragedy was made even harder by being asked to stand down as the scale of the disaster became clear.

Today, we remember those who lost their lives, the families and communities forever changed, and the first responders who answered the call.

We remember. We honour. We will never forget.

Congratulations to Les Card and Jade Martin on representing the EMR profession on CTV Morning Live!

EMRs play an important role in providing emergency care in our communities, and it’s great to see their work and the EMR program receiving this kind of recognition.

Check out the Camp Courage post below to learn more about the program and the important work EMRs do every day.

Summer is ending and school is starting!

We want to remind our members and the public that children will be on the move as they head to and from school. Please stay alert and drive safely, especially in and around school zones.

🚸 Watch for children crossing the road, walking or biking near traffic, and getting on and off school buses. Slow down, stay focused, and give yourself extra time to get where you’re going.

Let’s help keep our communities safe this school year!

I know it’s a Saturday in the summer and everyone is busy but let’s show our brothers and sisters some support. My grey Ford Escape will be parked on the street and I will have our new flags for anyone attending. See you all there as we support our dispatchers.
