“There was a call to our apartment block in Tsawwassen, and as I watched them take the lady to the ambulance, all bundled up, they were laughing and joking with her—making her feel so comfortable in such an uncomfortable moment." – Jollean #ThankfulThursdays

Pride month might be winding down soon, but we’re still celebrating over here at BCEHS! Check out these photos from earlier this month, when BCEHS paramedics and dispatch staff took part in the Kamloops Pride Parade.

A moose calf was born during a recent highway crash. Prince George #paramedics wrapped it in a blanket, fed it with a turkey baster, and gave it warmth in its final hours. For their efforts, they were honoured with a custom “moose pin.” bcehs.ca/about/news-sto… #BCEHS50

"My 911 dispatcher and paramedics were awesome! They bandaged me up while giving me a running commentary on the process. They made sure my fingers worked, then washed my bloody face and helped me change out of the shirt she had cut off me." - Lola #ThankfulThursdays
