On this day, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to honour the bravery of the first responders who ran toward danger to save others.

As paramedics, we stand in solidarity with our colleagues across borders, recognizing the sacrifice, courage, and resilience shown that day. We will never forget.

🚑💛 Today is World Su***de Prevention Day 💛🚑

As paramedics, we see firsthand the impact that su***de has on individuals, families, and entire communities. It’s a reminder that mental health matters, and that reaching out for support can save lives.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

If you are struggling, please know there is help:
📞 Call or text 988 – the Su***de Crisis Helpline is available 24/7 across Canada.

Together, we can break the silence, offer compassion, and build a culture where it’s okay to ask for help.

Back to School Means Back to Safety 🚸
As kids head back to class, remember: school zones are in effect again! Slow down, stay alert, and watch for children crossing the street.

Paramedics see firsthand the consequences of distracted or speeding drivers — let’s prevent accidents before they happen.

✅ School zone speed limit: 30 km/h (unless otherwise posted)
✅ Put down your phone
✅ Watch for crossing guards and kids

Let’s keep this school year safe for everyone.

School’s Back. Drive Like It. 🚦📚
September means more kids, buses, and parents on the roads. Paramedics ask all drivers to:

🛑 Respect school speed zones
🚌 Stop for school buses with flashing lights
👀 Stay alert near playgrounds before and after school

Every safe choice behind the wheel protects kids in your community.

Let’s start the year off right — with safety first.

TOMORROW THE KIDS ARE BACK TO SCHOOL!
Little Feet, Big Safety Reminders.
Children don’t always look both ways — that’s why drivers must.

Paramedics respond too often to preventable pedestrian incidents. As classes resume, please:
➡️ Stop fully at crosswalks
➡️ Expect kids to appear suddenly between parked cars
➡️ Make eye contact with pedestrians before moving

Together, we can make sure kids get to and from school safely every day.
