    Midhurst/April 14, 2025 – County of Simcoe Paramedic Services have launched their annual Paramedic for a Day Contest in commemoration of Paramedic Services Week (May 18 to 25, 2025). Grade 5 and 6 students residing in Simcoe County are asked to write a short essay (maximum 250 words) that speaks to the theme “We Care. For Everyone.”, highlighting the many ways paramedics support our diverse communities.  

    The deadline to enter is May 1, 2025, at 8 p.m. The winning entry will be announced during Paramedic Services Week, with the winner receiving a visit to their home/school from a Paramedic crew, along with an ambulance tour.​ The crew will also present the winner with a First-Aid Kit and take part in a mock scenario and photo opportunity.

    To enter, please email your essay to [email protected]. Be sure to include the student’s name, name of parent/guardian, phone number, and what school the student attends.

    Full contest details can be found at https://www.simcoe.ca/paramedicforaday.

    The 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.

    VIDEO: 張哲瀚Zhang Zhehan 紀錄片《八月》

    《八月》是中國演員張哲瀚首次擔任導演的紀錄片,2024年4月14日上線。 該片記錄了張哲瀚在2021年8月突遇網路風暴,演藝人生頃刻被顛倒後的一次自我療愈之旅。 當舞臺與燈光不再,當事業與生活被網路上的不實資訊和惡意扭曲震碎,張哲瀚選擇在兩年後的8月,以自己熱愛的方式向著真實的世界重新出發。從香格里拉到拉薩的騎行之路上,他遇見雪山和冰川,遇見草木牛羊,遇見許多個普通而動人的面孔;他傾聽天地之聲,傾聽陌生人的故事,也傾聽內心的痛和愛。 曾經的8月還未終結,以後的8月依然會來。而這一個《八月》意義非常。 #zhangzhehan_super3 #張哲瀚 #張哲瀚八月 #紀錄片八月 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLwMG6XoJ34&t=11s
