- 80 transfers yesterday to create ICU capacity in the GTA. The highest number of transfers in a single day all year. Team Ontario continues to amaze us with the collaboration and coordination of patient movements. Thank you. 🙏👐
- Our paramedics, pilots and aircraft maintenance engineers can’t stay at home. We stand ready to assist Ontarians in their time of need. We come to work for YOU. Stay home for US. Help us, help you. Stay home. Social distance. #socialdistance #COVID #COVID19ON

- Norm Wesley, an elder in @MooseCree First Nation, encourages everyone to be vaccinated against #COVID19. "Muskox will form a circle to defend themselves, "he says. "The vulnerable are in the circle. In being vaccinated, we are those Muskox." #OpRemoteImmunity @NANComms
00:00 - The views from Toronto to Sioux Lookout this weekend were incredible. Aurora Borealis dancing in the sky with our crew on their way home.
- We’ve added additional capacity to our system and activated our Surge Response Team (SRT) to assist with transports from the GTA to create ICU capacity. In partnership with @YorkParamedics, our SRT will now be able to transport multiple ICU patients using a multi-patient unit.
- More great news this morning. Congratulations to Muskrat Dam who achieved a 96% vaccination rate! Leadership in action. 👏👏👏 #OpRemoteImmunity
- 59 transfers yesterday to create ICU capacity in the GTA. The highest number of transfers in a single day for the month of April. Paramedic Services, nurses, physicians, our staff and more are working around the clock to ease the pressures. Truly one team. Thank you. 🙏👐Our paramedics valiantly continue to assist our pre-hospital partners (such as @ORNGE) and hospitals throughout Eastern Ontario in carrying out the transfer of COVID-positive patients in need of intensive care. 📷@Ottawa_Medic x.com/Ornge/status/1…
- Our thoughts and love are extended to those who have been injured, who have perished, who have witnessed and who have responded to the tragic incident in Toronto today. Thank you to @TorontoMedics, @TorontoPolice, @Toronto_Fire and @YorkParamedics for all you continue to do.
- Thank you to all the dedicated healthcare providers, first responders, lab technicians, pilots, paramedics, aircraft maintenance engineers and support staff who are working around the clock to keep Ontarians safe. Take care of yourself and each other as we work together.
- We were heartbroken to learn of the passing of one of our Critical Care Paramedics from our London 7792 base. Thank you to those who have expressed your condolences. Our thoughts remain with the family, friends and our staff during this difficult time.
