For Immediate Release. Major changes to the Community Paramedic program, across BC. 76 of 101 positions cut or left unfilled, $9 million in funding redirected.

Is your community on the “cut list?” BCEHS has left 76 communities without a Community Paramedic — while redirecting more than $9 million from the program’s budget elsewhere. Rural, remote and Indigenous communities deserve better. Community Paramedicine is worth fighting for.

For Immediate Release.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Have you noticed the hidden message in our iconic red stripe? Embedded within the stripe is a subtle yet powerful Indigenous symbol: the Heart in Our Hands. This design honours First Nations communities across BC that we are honoured to serve.

Retro logo!

Paramedic Services Week 2025 📷 This week, we celebrate the skill, strength, and heart of paramedics everywhere. It’s more than a logo — it’s a commitment to making sure everyone feels seen, safe, and supported in every emergency.

Our Indigenous logo is a powerful symbol recognized across British Columbia. We are deeply honoured to work in partnership with First Nations communities throughout the province—supporting, caring for, and standing alongside them with respect, humility, and commitment.
