Proclamation – Paramedic Services Week, May 17 – 23, 2026

“Whereas one week in May of each year is recognized across North America as ‘Paramedic Services Week’ by municipalities, Paramedic organizations and associations, as well as other levels of government; and

Whereas the 2026 Paramedic Services Week is May 17-23, 2026; and

Whereas the theme for this year is We Help, Everyone; and

Whereas paramedics dedicate their lives to public service, and their skills often make the difference between life and death; and

Whereas the services, dedication and commitment of our highly trained Paramedics deserves to be recognized and honoured; and

Whereas Northumberland County wishes to recognize the important contribution of the 140 full-time, part-time Paramedics, and Superintendents who work out of six bases across the County, and the Community Paramedic program, as well as recognize the Paramedics across Ontario and Canada;

Now Therefore Be It Resolved That I, Warden Robert Crate, on behalf of Northumberland County Council, do hereby proclaim May 17-23, 2026, as ‘Paramedic Services Week’ in Northumberland County, and urge our fellow community members to recognize the vital contributions provided by all Paramedics in Northumberland.”
