We've been coming to enjoy Jasper for many years. Arriving on September 7th this year we set-up the trailer went for an ebike ride. Returning to the Whistler site the bike fell into a hole, throwing me over the bars and breaking my neck. From that point I was attended to by local Paramedics, Zandra and her partner who did an amazing job.

We’d like to recognize Jeff, a Paramedic who attended two calls at the Calgary Zoo. He was professional, friendly, compassionate, and reassuring to both guests and families. His willingness to assist with a second call and his personable nature truly stood out. Our Security team sincerely appreciates his outstanding service and kindness.

I want to say Thank You to Scott and Niel from Claresholm EMS for their wonderful service on Oct 11, 2026.

Last night in Calgary, my family had to call for help. Shayla helped us out on the phone and was able to keep us calm and give us options. Ryan showed up and was absolutely amazing handling the situation. What was an emergency ended up feeling like coffee with a friend. All while getting much needed help! Thank you!

Shortly after midnight on Monday morning, September 28th, my husband called the ambulance as he found me to be unresponsive in our bed, due to type 1 diabetes low blood sugar. I was completely unaware, and only recall the paramedic calling my name post glucagon provision. My husband and I are pretty darn grateful, and thank you so very much!

I’m so incredibly grateful to the three Paramedics who came to our home on Sept. 25 and took my son to the Stollery. They were so kind, gentle and caring, and truly advocated for him. They stayed with him until he got a room. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’ll never forget their kindness.
