Commited to Excellence in Emergency Medical Services

The Emergency Medical Services Exemplary Service Medal (EMSESM)

 

As part of the Canadian Honours Programme, the Governor General makes available Exemplary Service Medals for EMS professionals. The Award was created in 1994 and is available to eligible members of the pre-hospital emergency medical service who have served for at least twenty years in a meritorious manner. It recognizes those professionals who have performed their duties in an exemplary manner, characterized by the highest standards of good conduct, industry and efficiency. To qualify, at least ten of these years of service must have been street level duty involving potential risk to the individual.

 

This award is presented during the annual general meeting of AMEMSO, held in the fall of each year. Information on nominating worthy candidates for either award can be obtained by contacting:
