KAWARTHA LAKES-On October 1, Autumn Campbell and Jordan Kaiser were presented with the Governor General’s Emergency Medical Services Exemplary Service Medal during a special ceremony hosted by the Ontario Association of Paramedic Chiefs in Niagara Falls.
“With more than 20 years of dedicated service, Autumn and Jordan have demonstrated an ongoing commitment to their patients, our community, and the paramedic profession,” said Sara Johnston, Chief of Paramedic Services. “This well-deserved recognition reflects the compassion, professionalism, and exceptional care they have consistently provided throughout their careers.”
The Emergency Medical Services Exemplary Service Medal, created on July 7, 1994, recognizes professionals in the provision of pre-hospital emergency medical services to the public, who have performed their duties in an exemplary manner, characterized by good conduct, industry and efficiency.
Recipients must have been employed with emergency medical services on or after October 31, 1991, and have completed 20 years of exemplary service, including at least 10 years in the performance of duties involving potential risk. Those with at least 10 years of service with emergency medical services may include, in the 20 years of service, service completed in another profession, provided this service has not been recognized by another long service, good conduct or efficiency decoration or medal awarded by the Crown. The Medal may be awarded posthumously.
Congratulations!
