• If you are interested in paramedics… Sault College is launching a new two-year Primary Care Paramedic diploma program in the fall. Employment opportunities after graduation look good, as current data estimates that the North will need roughly 450 new paramedics within three years.
• Good to hear that on February 24th (World Spay Day), the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society provided 227 free spay and neuter surgeries in Barrie, Stouffville, Durham, Thunder Bay and Sudbury. Thanks to generous supporters, all procedures were offered at no cost to underserved members of the community, enabling the Ontario SPCA to reach families and animals who might not have been able to access this care otherwise. This event could prevent more than an estimated 12,000 unplanned puppies and kittens from ending up in shelters.
