The 2026-2027 school year is underway, with some local school boards already welcoming students back and the remaining students returning to class next week.

As school buses hit the roads and more children walk, bike, and scoot to school, we encourage everyone to take extra care during their morning and afternoon commute.

Driving Safety Tips:
• Obey posted speed limits in school zones
• Stop for school buses when they are loading and unloading students
• Watch for children travelling to and from school by foot, bicycle, or scooter
• Allow extra travel time as traffic volumes may increase around schools

Every child deserves a safe trip to and from school.

From all of us at Leeds Grenville Paramedic Service, we wish students, teachers, and school staff a safe, successful, and exciting school year!

"When Moments Matter At The Cottage"

We were approached by the Lower Beverley Lake Association to do a brief presentation about cottage first aid and safety recently at their annual BBQ.

Thank you so much for letting us join in on the festivities and talk about ways to keep each other safe when cottaging or vacationing.

Last week, we had the privilege of recognizing an important professional milestone within our team!

Congratulations to Michael on successfully completing the requirements to become an Advanced Care Paramedic (ACP). Chief Carss was proud to present Michael with his ACP epaulette, marking this significant achievement in his career.

Achieving ACP certification is no small accomplishment. It requires countless hours of education, clinical training, examinations, and a commitment to professional excellence. More importantly, it reflects a dedication to continually enhancing the care and service we provide to our patients and communities.

Michael's determination, resilience, and commitment to lifelong learning exemplify the values of our profession. We are incredibly proud of this achievement and grateful to have him as part of the LGPS team.

Please join us in congratulating Michael on this well-deserved accomplishment! 👏

Last week, the Summit team hosted a drop-in vaccine clinic at the Prescott Food Bank during the organization's free community BBQ.

The clinic helped make vaccinations more accessible, with 17 community members receiving immunizations, including tetanus, shingles, and flu vaccines.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by and to the Prescott Food Bank for partnering with us to support the health and well-being of our community.

As we enter the start of August and the warm weather is continuing, here are some reminders for the heat.

Watch for these symptoms: excessive sweating, weakness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and fainting.

Heat stroke is a medical emergency - seek help and attempt to cool down right away.

Be prepared by drinking cool liquids (water is best), dress in light coloured, loose fitting clothing, wear a hat and sunscreen.

Stay inside during the hottest time of the day (noon - 2pm) in air-conditioned areas as much as possible.

Check in on friends and family, especially the vulnerable population (elderly, children and people with respiratory illness)
