My apologize for my dress, it definitely takes from the elegance of the monument but I was waiting for a run event to start.
This was the first time I seen the monument in person since it was put on the ground and couldn't resist posting something to acknowledge it.
So many emotions running through me.
This was 6 years in the making. Over those 6 years, I heard many points of view from Paramedics regarding the "need" of this project.
I heard, it's a rock, it's a piece of stone. It will change nothing to the profession. I also heard this will be great.
I seen what it could do for the profession. I seen it as a place to honor past, present and future paramedics., Their commitment, dedication and sadly, sacrifice.
Our board may have not seen it to the end but if we had not started it, it wouldn't now exist. Robin, Shane York and Judy.
I wish Yvon Bourque were here to see it.
Thanks to Paramedic Association of NB for seeing it through. 🙏
