Maintaining long-term, top quality emergency medical response for the residents of Chatham-Kent must be the top priority for the Mayor and council, said Jeff Van Pelt, from the Ontario Paramedics Working Group, at an info picket today outside the Chatham-Kent Municipal Building.
Organized by local paramedics, represented by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), because of significant concerns over a proposal to blend paramedic and fire services that is coming to council for debate on June 27th, the info picket aimed to raise community awareness of this critical issue. Local paramedics were joined by colleagues from communities across the province who share concerns about the proposed model that has proven not to work in other jurisdictions.
