On April 6, BC Ambulance Service moved into a new ambulance station built by the District of Elkford as an addition to the existing Fire Hall. The addition to the facility includes an ambulance bay, medical supply room, lockers, decontamination area, office and washroom. Elkford paramedics will also be able to make use of the existing space in the fire hall kitchen and rest areas.
"The new ambulance station will support patient care in the community by providing improved meeting and training facilities for Elkford's dedicated paramedics," said BC Ambulance Service Chief Operating Officer Sue Conroy. "I'm pleased that this new station will support them as they continue to provide high quality emergency medical services to area residents."
An opening ceremony was held on April 6 at the 2300 Balmer Drive facility to mark this special occasion.
