Canadian EMS Registry

What that registry means to us

A Bell Ambulance, based in Etobicoke, around the 1960s.
As the founder of the CPCA‑ACPC, I created this organization to ensure that our profession’s past is not lost to time. What we collect and what we share here is an evidence of how paramedicine grew from fragmented local services into a unified, highly skilled profession recognized across Canada. By documenting and safeguarding these pieces of history, we honour their work and ensure future generations understand where our profession came from and why it matters.
Preserving this history is not only an act of respect — it is a way to strengthen our professional identity, inspire new paramedics, and celebrate the evolution of prehospital care in Canada.
