Just Depends Each province is unique and it all depends where you want to be. Warm, cool, frozen. Saskatchewan is starting to be on par with Alberta. In fact it will only be a matter of time. With that said, just check out the different college websites like Saskatchewan College of...

Saskatchewan is unionized and right now the pay scale for primary care paramedics starts out at $20/hr and goes to $25/hr!

This may come off *** mean but seriously...16 and a EMT Basic. In canada you cannot even think about getting into the program until you are 18. But then again our EMT program is the states intermediate or advanced level too. EMRs which is closer to the Basic level still have to be 18 years of...

Nice post Rid! Good advice. I haven't seen any of that literature yet. Do you have a link I can check out? MDKEMT

Interesting. Response times vary up here but I also live in a remote area of the province. MDKEMT

Nice! Very Nice! I love how the medic had a look of disgust on his face! Priceless! MDKEMT
