The Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) represents approximately 2,100 paramedics who proudly serve the citizens of 20 Ontario communities.
Paramedics are governed by the Ambulance Act and its regulations with medical oversight by a Base Hospital as dictated by the Ambulance Act.
Paramedics are fully trained and highly skilled to meet the medical needs of our communities. Paramedics are the medical authority on all pre-hospital medical emergencies and provide often-required lifesaving skills from the point of patient contact to the transfer of care at the receiving medical facility.
