Paramedic Services Week
The City of Cornwall and Cornwall SDG Paramedic Services are celebrating Paramedic Services Week fromMay 22 to May 28. Paramedic Services Week is a special time set aside to honour and recognize the dedication of paramedics and staff in our community. Paramedics work diligently every day to save lives, promote recovery and treat injuries in an emergency. This week is recognized nationally and promotes paramedics and staff with the national theme, Enhancing Care, Changing Lives . In 2016, paramedics in Cornwall and SDG responded to over 14,000 calls. Ambulances are constantly moving throughout the city and counties day and night to ensure safe and rapid response to any call for service. In addition, paramedics are providing valuable in-home care through the Community Paramedic Program. “Each shift, paramedics go to work prepared to meet the unexpected. They equip themselves both mentally and physically to deal with the challenges they will face in serving the community and its citizens,” said Paramedic Services chief Myles Cassidy. — supplied photo
Des centaines de résidents ont entouré l’Académie de hockey le 26 mai dernier, afin d’observer les pompiers de la ville au travail. Ceux- ci tentaient d’éteindre les flammes qui assaillaient l’édifice. Selon le chef de pompier de Cornwall, Pierre Voisine, le feu aurait pris naissance vers 18 h dans l’une des chambres des élèves. Il n’a été maîtrisé que vers 21 h. Personne n’aurait été blessé. L’édifice, qui servait de dortoir pour plus de 80 élèves, serait une perte totale. Les élèves, qui proviennent de divers pays, ont été en mesure de terminer leurs cours au cours des jours qui ont suivis. Ils ont été logés au Ramada Inn. — photo Francis Racine L’Académie: proie des flammes
