It was a tough weekend for BC Emergency Health Services paramedics.

“We probably had our worst weekend from what reports to me are as far as out-of-services across the province,” said Troy Clifford, president of the Ambulance Paramedics of British Columbia

"Over the weekend, we saw points where Kamloops was down to 1.5 ambulances. And what I mean 1.5 is one-and-a-half ambulance staffed. So, two paramedics on one and half on the other. The woman, who Castanet has agreed not to name, says that paramedics have no jurisdiction over where they are sent. She adds that, like many healthcare workers, they are feeling burnt out after two-and-a-half years of the COVID-19 pandemic.
