Community InvolvemenT
WPD continues to offer opportunities for Paramedics to come to Canada and work with our growing team.
If you are looking for a partnership in training, education or other items that we can assist in, we encourage you to contact us.
WPD and Rosthern & District Ambulance endeavours to actively support the communities within each of its service areas.
Rosthern & District Ambulance’s biggest show of community support is the annual golf tournament in support of the Rosthern Hospital Foundation. This annual tournament is held regularly in June. To date, over $500,000.00 has been donated to the Rosthern Hospital Foundation to assist in the purchase of x-ray equipment, beds, monitors and other much needed equipment for the Rosthern Hospital.
WPD Ambulance – North Battleford became the 5th city in Saskatchewan and the 12th city in Canada to become “Heart Safe”. The company took the lead in procuring and training local businesses and their staff to safely use automated external defibrillators (AED) at their place of business. To date, WPD Ambulance has placed 40 AEDs in the communities.
Local groups in all three service areas such as the Battleford’s Agricultural Society, Kinsmen Rodeo, Lighthouse, Boys and Girls Club, local food banks, schools and other worthy organizations have all been the recipient of donated time, money and training to help them with all the good works they do.

The grade 3/4 and 4/5’s class had a blast learning some basic first aid from WPD Ambulance. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us!
Last week LCYC showed their community that Kindness Wins by baking red velvet cookies and delivering them along with kind messages attached. The Youth of LCYC wanted to say thank you to people that impact their health, safety and daily lives. This year’s recipients of Kindness wins baking were the Lloydminster R.C.M.P., WPD Ambulance Care, Lloydminster Hospital, Lloydminster & District SPCA, Bioclean Aquatic Centre, and to the staff at LCYC’s closest 7-11. This wonderful program is offered to the youth of LCYC by Lloydminster’s Beyond Borders Circle of Change! Thank you to our wonderful community and to the youth who participated.

Thank you to all of the participants and fellow exhibitors that came out today during the 10th Annual Try a Trade career fair!🙏 The interactive experience is a great opportunity to network and try out a bit of the roles and responsibilities in each workplace! 🚑
Did you know that November is #CPRMonth? WPD Ambulance and Rosthern & District Ambulance has been busy facilitating and taking part in this life saving training! Having this skillset can double or even triple the chance of someone’s survival! Remember, cardiac arrest can happen to anyone at any time, inside or outside the home or workplace. #EMS
Over the course of the week, our #EMS team gathered with younger generations for a "show and tell" and a read-aloud focusing on safety and the ambulance services. This is especially important in creating comfortability and confidence in the event they need to call us one day. We are blessed to have team members who value attending and facilitating these events, including visits to schools, daycares, colleges and other special community gatherings.
Today, we celebrate and recognize the work that paramedics (and each pre-hospital team member) do around the world in the many different ways they help and care. During the very first #InternationalParamedicsDay we share a proud moment. A former student, Ukrainian by descent, recently reached out to the many ambulance services across the province of Saskatchewan asking for support and assistance in sending equipment and support to paramedics intervening in Ukraine. It is our honour to send off one of our ambulances with the help of our partners Crestline Coach Ltd. and Select Classic Carriers, who assisted in the resource availability and transportation of the unit. The unit, packed with care, is scheduled to be delivered to Mississauga, Ontario on Sunday and arrive at its final destination overseas next week. We support and uplift one another by committing to the very best in pre-hospital care efforts. #IPD2022.
A warm thank you to Walter Dutchak and is staff at WPD Ambulance for donating breakfast and serving it to all our wonderful students. Are hearts and bellies are full!
