WHEREAS the ongoing shortage of labour in Ambulance Services throughout rural BC is prevalent in most communities outside of large urban centres;
AND WHEREAS BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) ambulance service is a vital component of life safety and access to healthcare for those who live and work in small rural communities, which are often a significant distance from fully-equipped hospitals:
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the North Central Local Government Association and the Union of BC Municipalities lobby the Province of BC to provide funding for increased wages and training opportunities to assist with recruiting and retention of workers in the BCEHS.
