    Celebrating National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week 

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Midhurst/April 14, 2025 – From April 13 to 19, communities across Canada are commemorating National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, recognizing the critical role of 9-1-1 dispatchers and public safety communicators in ensuring the safety of the public and first responders. 

    “Public safety telecommunicators are the calm, steady voices guiding people through emergencies, providing life-saving instructions, and ensuring that first responders have the critical information they need to act swiftly and effectively”, said Warden Basil Clarke. “Every day, these highly trained professionals face the unimaginable. Their work is not just a job; it is a calling that demands resilience, compassion, and a commitment to the safety of our community. This week is our chance to say thank you for all they do in service to the community.” 

    Simcoe County receives emergency services support from multiple dispatch centres, including the OPP, Orillia Fire Department, Barrie Fire and Emergency Service, Barrie Police Service, South Simcoe Police Service, and the Georgian Central Ambulance Communications Centre (Georgian CACC), which coordinates critical medical responses for 2.2 million residents, including paramedic services from the County of Simcoe, York Region, Rama First Nation, and Beausoleil First Nation. 

    This week we encourage all residents to take a moment to acknowledge and appreciate the voices behind the calls – the professionals who remain vigilant 24/7 to keep our communities safe. 

    County of Simcoe is composed of 16 member municipalities and provides crucial public services to County residents, in addition to providing paramedic and social services to the separated cities of Barrie and Orillia. Visit our website at simcoe.ca.
