Update on Ambulance Service Disruption

Dear Residents of Kerrobert,

We want to take a moment to acknowledge the ongoing disruption to our ambulance services due to the shortage of EMTs. The Town Council is fully aware of the significant impact this is having on our community, and we share your concerns.

We have been actively working on this issue, including engaging in discussions with MLA Kim Gartner, who is assisting in exploring options to escalate this matter through the appropriate political channels. Our goal is to ensure that our concerns are heard and addressed as quickly as possible.

Additionally, we are in regular contact with the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA), calling for updates and reports on their efforts to resolve the situation. We continue to ask for clear plans of action and will hold them accountable for taking meaningful steps to improve our ambulance services.

Mayor Mitchell is strongly advocating for more exposure outside internal posting sites for the job vacancies to be posted and raising awareness for the shortage. The Council is hoping by having the ads more visible perhaps you the public can bring it to the attention of people you may know that are qualified that would be interested in applying or filling in shifts on their days off.

We will keep you informed with any developments and updates as we continue to push for a solution. While we are making progress through ongoing discussions and meetings with key stakeholders, we recognize that resolving this issue will take time. We are committed to finding a clear and effective plan of action, but further consultations and careful planning are necessary to ensure we approach this in the best way possible for our community. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding as we work toward a solution.

Sincerely,
The Town Council of Kerrobert
