VANCOUVER One of the top officials at B.C. Emergency Health Services couldn’t explain why the agency didn’t raise its internal response to the deadly heat wave until after the most extreme temperatures had passed, as internal memos reveal staff are being offered significant incentives to work overtime this weekend. Several paramedics have provided the internal email offering compensation for overtime shifts at double time rates from 6 p.m. Friday until the end of the night shift Sunday in order to improve response times, which was not offered last weekend when the forecast called for temperatures 20 degrees above the seasonal average for much of B.C.
