Province bolstering paramedic resources
The British Columbia government July 14 announced it is taking steps to improve ambulance response times and support emergency workers.
“When we call for help, we need to know help is on the way, and that it will arrive quickly,” said Adrian Dix, Minister of Health. “Immediate action on operations, as well as stronger leadership and increased investment at BC Emergency Health Services, will deliver a more effective ambulance service for patients and families who depend on it. Better support for paramedics and dispatchers will help them do the vital work we count on every day.”

“Today’s announcement is intended to focus on strengthening the foundation of emergency health services so that we can improve service to patients and communities and the day-to-day work experience of our employees,” said authority interim president David Byres and executive vice-president Susan Wannamaker in a letter to staff Wednesday, the same day as Dix announced the changes to B.C. ambulance service.

Byres and Wannamaker went on to discount the possibility that the moves were the result of a blame-placing exercise.
The boy was pronounced dead at the scene by B.C. Ambulance Service paramedics. Shawnigan Lake RCMP and the Mill Bay Fire Department also responded. Shawnigan Lake RCMP Detachment Commander Tim Desaulniers said the collision is still being investigated, but it appears the cyclist failed to stop at a stop sign when he turned left to head onto Benko Road. He said the driver of the pickup, which was towing a boat, was unable to stop in time and hit the cyclist. “The driver is co-operating with the investigation and initially [there] does not appear to be any criminality in this tragic collision,” Desaulniers said.
