This year’s theme, “We Care. For Everyone.” highlights the professionalism and commitment of our paramedics in providing compassionate and high-quality care to residents and visitors alike.
County of Simcoe Paramedic Services (CSPS) has continued to evolve into a highly sophisticated emergency medical service, providing a broad range of community healthcare supports to Simcoe County.

The evolution of our paramedic service reflects our commitment to excellence in emergency healthcare.
