Philanthropy
We at Emergency Medical Care Inc. believe in supporting our communities. Our employees offer countless volunteer hours for many great causes across our province.
Camp Courage, which allows young women to experience the world of emergency medical response services, gains popularity every year thanks in large part to our paramedics who dedicate their time and skills to training the campers in the field of paramedicine.
Every holiday season, our paramedics open their hearts and their ambulances to collect food and toys for those in need. The Stuff-An-Ambulance events draw large crowds whose generosity allows us to make the holidays a little brighter for many families.
