Fire Services Delivery Public Consultation Meetings: June 12
This is a very important meeting to attend. Areas other than Gun Lake and Bralorne, take your pick of which meeting to attend.
As your elected representative I need you to understand Fire Services delivery in today's terms and provide your input so I can assess how property owners throughout Area A want the SLRD to go. If you don't attend and have no input please do not complain later about decisions and their implications to your tax bill and the services that are provided.

Fire Services Delivery Public Consultation Meetings: June 12
This is a very important meeting to attend. Areas other than Gun Lake and Bralorne, take your pick of which meeting to attend.
The Fire Services Review was finalized in 2013, and we will
update you on the work done to begin implementing some of the recommendations
made in the Review.
The SLRD’s Emergency Manager will outline various options
for the potential restructuring of each community’s volunteer fire departments
and protective services, based on the recommendations received in the Fire
Services Review.
If you’re unable to attend, or don’t plan on being in the
region on that weekend, we will record the meetings, and post the presentation
and recording to our website, so you can fill out the survey and provide your
feedback on your preferred approach moving forward.

Community Paramedicine Program announced for Province and our Area
73 rural and
remote B.C. communities that will welcome community paramedicine, a program
that offers residents enhanced health services from paramedics, our area being one of those 73. I think this is a very positive step for our area.
Under this program, paramedics will provide basic
health-care services, within their scope of practice, in partnership with local
health-care providers. The enhanced role is not intended to replace care
provided by health professionals such as nurses, but rather to complement and
support the work these important professionals do each day, delivered in
non-urgent settings, in patients' homes or in the community.
Community paramedicine broadens the traditional focus of
paramedics on pre-hospital emergency care to include disease prevention, health
promotion and basic health-care services. This means a paramedic will visit
rural patients in their home or community, perform assessments requested by the
referring health-care professional, and record their findings to be included in
the patient's file. They will also be able to teach skills such as CPR at
community clinics.
At least 80 new full-time equivalent positions will
support the implementation of community paramedicine, as well as augment
emergency response capabilities. Positions will be posted across the regional
health authorities. The selection, orientation and placement process is
expected to take about four months.
Community paramedics are expected to be delivering
community health services in northern B.C. this fall, in the Interior in early
2017, on Vancouver Island and the Vancouver coastal area in the spring of 2017.
