The Manitoba Paramedic Honour Guard (MPHG) Board is proud to have come to be able to offer Manitoba Paramedics representation and services when needed. The concept of a province wide HG came after attending the Line of Duty Death (LODD) memorials in Kimberly, B.C. and in Strathclair, Ontario. At these events, representation from Manitoba was quite limited and was without a Paramedic HG. With the exception of the Winnipeg Paramedics, the Manitoba Paramedics did not have dress uniforms.
The concept of creating an HG was first discussed by Diane Findlay (IRHA), Stan Stone (WFPS), and Marc Savard (WFPS) while in Ontario for the Patterson LODD memorial. Upon return to Manitoba, the Paramedic Association of Manitoba (PAM) was approached about the concept. Working through the summer, Diane and Marc with the addition of Lorne Harley (IRHA) became the inaugural board for MPHG.
The MPHG is not only looking to represent Paramedics for events, but is also addressing some issues for Manitoba's Paramedics. Very soon, our website's merchandise page will have shirts and dress uniforms for sale. We have taken the opportunity to develop a new crest that is not service specific so when someone buys a shirt or dress uniform, it is theirs.
Take care,
Marc
