Kenora District Community Paramedics meet face to face monthly to do training and to see where we can fill gaps in care and services.

Last month we had a great refresher with our Augmented Reality glasses where we can take experts in wound care into homes with us.

Overcoming geography with tech.

With some paramedic groups and others not relevant to the profession choosing that we would not be self-regulated a few years ago... wonder we we fall in the government's plans with this as it "expands into other health care providers".

Almost gave up a couple of weeks ago on here as the search function for Paramedic, EMS, Ambulance, etc... comes up with next to nothing.

Tonight went old school Twitter and started browsing who people were following and bingo, lots on here already!

Looking forward to our services joining too...

New tires on the 4x, plow on the quad, sled fired up and... a measly 4" of snow here in the Northwestern part of Ontario.

So... quit bragging about all the wonderful snow you're getting, we are very envious here with the lake only freezing this past week.
