More funding is needed if we want to ensure Paramedics will be there in a timely manner to respond in your time of need!
With adequate funding, resources, and a real commitment to staffing, Ontario's paramedics could be there more quickly in your time of need. We want that reality as much as anyone ❤️

Looking to get rid of all those boxes and wrapping paper? We would like to remind everyone that your wood burning fireplace is not the way to do so.
Are you a current or former firstresponder? Researchers at #CAMH want to hear views on barriers/enablers to using crisis lines. Help improve services for first responders by taking an online research survey: is.gd/frcrisislinesurvey.
