Congratulations to all our Northeastern Paramedics who recently received the prestigious Governor General’s Emergency Medical Services Exemplary Service Medal (ESM). The Exemplary Service Medal recognizes 20 years of exemplary service and was presented by Brigadier-General Forestier serving as the official representative of The Governor General of Canada, Her Excellency the Right Honourable Mary Simon. CPC would also like to recognize Sault Ste. Marie Paramedic, Hilary Sadowsky who received the Humanitarian Award presented by the Ontario Association of Paramedic Chiefs.
Since 1994, as part of the Canadian Honours Programme, the Governor General annually selects Canadian EMS professionals to receive an ESM for 20 years of exemplary service and a bar for each 30 years and 40 years of exemplary service. This award recognizes professionals in the provision of prehospital emergency medical services to the public, who have performed their duties in an exemplary manner, characterized by the highest standards of good conduct, industry and efficiency. At least 10 of these years must have been in the provision of prehospital emergency medical services to the public, which involves potential risk to the individual.
Once again, congratulations to all recipients on behalf of HSN CPC.
