    Construction continues…

    Midhurst/January 13, 2025 – Construction of the new Paramedic Post in the Township of Springwater is progressing as planned and is expected to open in summer 2025. This two-bay facility, located on Snow Valley Road in Midhurst, is part of the County of Simcoe’s efforts towards further building up care and innovative services across our region.

    Endorsed by County Council in 2008, County of Simcoe Paramedic Services Facilities Plan aims to improve operational efficiency while also reducing response times for urgent calls. The plan includes a combination of traditional paramedic stations combined with a hub-and-spoke model, which is particularly effective in urban areas. This model features a central hub, such as the Barrie-Simcoe Emergency Services Campus, that is complemented by smaller posts in high-demand locations, like the one-bay Central East Barrie Post, located at 31 Ross Street, to help ensure rapid response to life threatening situations.

    The plan also promotes a standardized design approach that can be scaled to different sizes, providing cost savings and consistency.

    In addition to the Springwater Post, the recently approved 2025 County budget including plans to move forward with the construction of a new Paramedic Station in the Township of Tay in 2025/2026. In an effort to better meet the growing needs of the community and provide long-term cost certainty, a new Waubaushene Station will replace the leased facility in Coldwater.

    County of Simcoe is composed of sixteen 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
