BC Ambulance Service (BCAS) paramedics, Emergency Medical Call-takers and Emergency Medical Dispatchers are more than the trusted figures we rely on to offer support and assistance during difficult times. They are also dedicated members of their communities, devoting immeasurable volunteer service hours to local initiatives and events to help improve the lives of the people around them. Following is a sample of some of the ways BCAS employees from across the province are working to give back to their communities.
