A big #thanks to @SouthSimcoePS for having our PAD Program team speak to 30 #SimcoeCounty newcomers about emergency preparedness, including when to call 911 & how CPR/AEDs can make a lifesaving difference.
Together, we're building a more informed, prepared & resilient community.
On International Paramedics Day, we honour the courage & compassion paramedics bring to every call. Our thoughts are with our community after the tragic collision that took 2 paramedics & their patient — a reminder of the risks paramedics face daily.
Great day to be in Orillia for MPP Jill Dunlop and MP Adam Chambers Seniors Fair. Thanks Minister Dunlop for stopping by our booth and helping us celebrate #ParamedicServicesWeek.

As paramedics, we see the impact of mental health challenges every day. Reducing stigma and increasing access to support helps people before a crisis happens. #BellLetsTalk
The impact of this year’s Food & Toy Drive:

💵 $42,915 raised
Thank you, Simcoe County, for helping us Make Spirits Bright. simcoe.ca/featured-news/csps…
Severe weather across parts of the region is delaying paramedic response. Crews are prioritizing life-threatening emergencies, so lower-priority calls may take longer. Some areas not directly impacted may also see delays as resources are redirected. Thank you for your patience.
The County of Simcoe Paramedic Food & Toy Drive is entering Week 5 with outstanding momentum—3,268 toys, 3,603 lbs of food, and $21,382 in gift cards collected. Help us cross the finish line. See where you can find us this week: simcoe.ca/residents/paramedi…

#16Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence begins today.
Online violence doesn't leave physical bruises, but it does cause mental scars.
It’s a continuation of offline abuse; amplified by anonymity and reach.
Millions of women, girls, and adolescents face harassment, stalking, and threats in digital spaces meant for connection.
Let’s change that
🔒 Block and report abuse
🗣️ Speak up and support survivors
🫶 Post with empathy and respect
Violence has no place: online or offline.
