Unity and Biggar coordinators honoured at EMS awards
Two emergency medical service (EMS) professionals from Unity and Biggar were among those honoured this week at a provincial award ceremony for those who went above and beyond in their careers.
Unity ICP coordinator Leah Arsenault and Biggar EMS coordinator Doug Beeson both received Stars of Life Awards at the award ceremony in Regina on Monday, May 30 where Lieutenant Governor Vaughn Solomon Schofield made the presentations.
The Star of Life Award recognizes going above and beyond the call of duty, excellence and leadership as well as program development and high standards of excellence in EMS.
Both Arsenault and Beeson work for the Heartland Health Region south of the Battlefords and were both nominated by members of the health region. Arsenault said it’s great to be recognized by the people she works with.
