Regional EMS Foundation

Regional EMS Foundation To raise funds to support the purchase of Emergency Medical Services equipment and to provide funding for public education activities.

https://www.facebook.com/1362550399/posts/10217913061042475/ The Regional EMS Foundation has been involved with raising funds to place AEDs (automated external defibrillators) in public areas across Northern Alberta since it's inception in 2000. With help from the Waldron family, who lost their 19 year old son due to cardiac arrest, the Regional EMS Foundation was born as a means to raise funds to

support the placement of these life saving devices. Since then, the Regional EMS Foundation has supported medical co-response groups, volunteer fire departments, the EMS Cadets, High School First Responder Program, Candy Cane Check Stop, Safety City Kiosk, Medi Magnet, along with many other awareness and education initiatives. The Star of LIFE Bursary is also operated through the Regional EMS Foundation. This bursary is disbursed in July of each year, and has helped many people start their career in Emergency Response. Most recently, the Regional EMS Foundation has taken on a large fundraising project called the Human Patient Simulation Training Unit, which is essentially an ambulance body on the back of a large truck chassis. This mobile unit will travel across the North Zone, providing real life like training and education to our EMS practitioners, and their allied agencies. This training unit allows practitioners of small town or rural areas to stay in their community and still receive the high quality training that practitioners receive in larger centers. This project is complete and education of emergency providers is taking place across our region. Our Mission: Partnering with front line first response organizations to provide exemplary care to our families.

We are proud to share a powerful recognition from the REMS Foundation.

Challenge coins were recently presented to a group of citizens who stepped forward in a life-saving emergency. These individuals provided immediate first aid and used an AED on a man in cardiac arrest, helping to save his life before EMS arrival.

Their quick thinking, calm actions, and willingness to act in a critical moment made an extraordinary difference. This recognition is a small token of appreciation for their courage and the impact they had on a real person’s survival.

The REMS Foundation is honoured to acknowledge community members who take action when it matters most. Stories like this reflect the strength of trained and prepared citizens, and the vital role they play in the chain of survival.

Thank you to these individuals for your actions, and for reminding us what community care truly looks like.

The Regional EMS Foundation was proud to support the annual Candy Cane Campaign, helping spread holiday cheer and important winter road safety messages across the North Zone this December 🍬🚑

Through partnerships with Primary Care Alberta, EMS, police services, fire departments, and community organizations, events were held in more than 20 communities, reaching over 8,000 drivers. By donating more than 10,000 candy canes, the Foundation helped ensure this positive, non-confrontational campaign could take place across the region.

Thank you to all the partners and volunteers who made this initiative such a success. Together, small gestures can make a big difference in keeping our roads and communities safe this winter. ❄️
