UNITED COUNTIES of SD&G, Ontario – Looking to improve land-ambulance services in SDG Counties, Cornwall and SDG paramedics have budgeted a 7.51 per cent increase in operating and capital spending for 2021.
Chief Bill Lister presented the paramedic services budget to SDG Counties council at its January 18th regular meeting as part of the overall Shared Services presentation. SDG and Cornwall have a shared-services agreement, which was renewed late Fall 2020.
Lister told council that part of the capital increase for the budget was not just for replacing existing ambulance vehicles, but to add one additional ambulance for service in the county.
