The contest opened on Mar. 30.
Eligible students residing in Simcoe County are asked to submit a short essay (Maximum 250 words) describing what it means to be a paramedic.

To enter, students must email their essay to paramedic4aday@simcoe.ca.
Included with the essay should be the student’s name, their parent/guardian’s name, their home phone number, and their school’s name.
The selected winner will have the unique opportunity to participate in Paramedic Services Week activities on May 12, joining County of Simcoe Paramedic Services for a hands-on, behind-the-scenes experience.
