The BC Ambulance Service (BCAS) Communications Department is the first point of contact for public comment and may also provide the media with information regarding BCAS response to significant events occurring anywhere in British Columbia. Please note that all requests for comment by BCAS are coordinated through the Communications Department, who can be reached via the contact information below.
In accordance with the provincial Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, the Communications Department is limited in the amount of information it can provide to media. Specifically, details that could identify a patient or the circumstances that led to their injury cannot be released by the BCAS.
While protecting the privacy of the patients entrusted in our care is our first priority, the Communications Department will do its best to facilitate all media requests. Contacting the Communications Department directly will ensure that your query is addressed by an appropriate BCAS representative in a timely manner.
Media are also invited to contact the Communications Department for high resolution copies of any of the images displayed in our BCAS photo library.
