Huron County, Ontario – Paramedic Services Week 2025, taking place from May 18 to 24, is an opportunity to recognize and thank the dedicated professionals who provide life-saving care to Huron County residents every day.
Huron County’s more than 100 paramedics, supported by supervisory and administrative staff, form a vital part of the County’s emergency response system. These compassionate professionals provide critical care in times of crisis, playing an essential role in community safety and well-being.
“Huron County’s paramedics are truly remarkable,” said Huron County Warden Jamie Heffer. “Their knowledge, compassion, and calm under pressure make an incredible difference in people’s lives. This week is an important time to thank them for their commitment to keeping our communities safe and healthy.”
The 2025 national theme, “We Care. For Everyone.”, reflects the inclusive and community-focused values that guide paramedic services across the country. In Huron County, paramedics provide care to people of all ages and backgrounds, wherever and whenever it is needed most.
Working alongside 911 dispatchers, fire services, and local law enforcement, Huron County paramedics respond to approximately 10,000 calls each year.
