My 911 dispatcher and paramedics were awesome! They bandaged me up while giving me a running commentary on the process. They made sure my fingers worked, then washed my bloody face and helped me change out of the shirt she had cut off me. They even offered to wash off my Adidas clogs before we left. She gave me pain meds, kept me cozy in the ambulance, and stayed with me after triage. Paula—you’re an angel.

I wanted to say thank you. You guys saved my sister’s life before and I appreciate it. God bless you and one day I'll be working with the police department or as an EMT—I don’t know yet—but it’s my dream job.

I am beyond grateful. In fact, I don't have the proper words to express my gratitude and how thankful I am for the responders who attended my 70-year-old Mom’s car accident on May 5, 2025 in Lac La Hache. To whoever helped save my Mom’s life: you are angels—pure angels—and I am forever thankful. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

I just witnessed one of the sweetest moments. There was a call to our apartment block in Tsawwassen, and as I watched them take the lady to the ambulance, all bundled up, they were laughing and joking with her—making her feel so comfortable in such an uncomfortable moment. They were so gentle and kind. It was just a lovely moment to watch from afar.

On October 30, 2023, my father collapsed just as his physiotherapist arrived at the front door. An ambulance was called. I am looking to thank the paramedic who made my father completely at ease by striking up a conversation about the fact that the photo hanging on the wall had been taken by the paramedic's father.

Last night, I was sweating and shaking all over. Fortunately, your department sent a car to my home in time for first aid. Two young medical staff reviewed my condition very professionally, including my medical history, medication status, etc. After their comfort and convincing initial diagnosis, my condition was relieved, and I gave up the idea of going to the hospital emergency room. Thank you.

My Father was picked up tonight in Vancouver by two amazing professionals. The care, attention, and compassion they displayed was absolutely amazing. He has had two different trips to the hospital this past week and I can't thank the paramedics enough who came to the apartment both times. Thank you!
