Although a provincial announcement is expected June 15 to establish a new governance model for ambulance services, Advanced Life Support (ALS) is coming to the forefront locally.
Emergency services director Brad Mason, along with the area's medical director, Dr. Ryan Torrie, are working on a presentation to Town of Taber and M.D. of Taber councils regarding ALS, anticipated to be given within a month's time.
"Certainly, our recommendation will be that we make the move," remarked Mason. "For us, it's been something we've been moving towards for the five years I've been here. Bottom line is, it's all about providing a higher level of care for people, and that's really what's driving it."
