Paramedic Services Week
Each year in May, the County of Simcoe, along with the Paramedic Chiefs of Canada, recognizes Paramedic Services Week across Canada. National Paramedic Services Week celebrates the caring professional paramedics in Canada. Local recognition of this week showcases the integral role County of Simcoe Paramedic Services play in keeping our community safe, healthy and strong through community-based programs, training and educational initiatives.
Paramedic for a Day Contest
As part of Paramedic Services Week celebrations, the County of Simcoe Paramedic Services is inviting local Grade 5 and 6 students to enter the 2026 Paramedic for a Day contest.
This annual initiative encourages young residents to learn about the vital role paramedics play in keeping our communities safe, while inspiring the next generation of health‑care professionals.
Beginning March 30, eligible students residing in Simcoe County are asked to submit a short essay (maximum 250 words) describing what it means to be a paramedic. Creativity, insight, and a strong understanding of the profession will help determine this year’s winner.
The contest closes April 30 at 8 p.m. Full details can be found here.
