The BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) Provincial Honour Guard is a unique and highly trained team of paramedics who volunteer their time to march at ceremonial events across British Columbia.
The first unit of its kind in British Columbia, the BCEHS Provincial Honour Guard was established in 1989. Its members come from all BCEHS ranks, classifications and operational areas. The Honour Guard operates as a single provincial unit, with contingents in each area of the province. It also includes several retired BCEHS members, four pipers, two buglers and a chaplain.
Today, the BCEHS Provincial Honour GUard includes more than 50 dedicated members from across the province. The team takes part in a wide range of events, including Remembrance Day and Canada Day ceremonies, service award presentations, retirement dinners, weddings, memorial services and royal visits. The Honour Guard is recognized across Canada and internationally as a symbol of both BCEHS and British Columbia.
