Our paramedics proudly wear coloured epaulettes throughout the year to raise awareness and show support for important causes that impact the communities we serve.
Each colour has a special meaning:
Orange - Truth and Reconciliation Day (September)
Green - Mental Health Awareness
Light Blue - Prostate Cancer Awareness (November)
Pink - Breast Cancer Awareness (October)
Dark Blue - Autism Awareness
Rainbow - Pride
This month, you'll see our teams wearing orange epaulettes as a visible sign of reflection and remembrance leading up to Truth and Reconciliation Day on September 30. It's one way we show our commitment to honouring survivors, their families, and Indigenous communities.
