Toronto Paramedic Services provides pre-hospital emergency medical care to the residents of Toronto. Emergency medical dispatchers and paramedics respond to up to 800 calls a day across the city from people calling 911 for emergency medical assistance. A day in the life of first responders can never be predicted and is never the same as the day before. Each day, however, first responders help many residents and visitors to the city who suffer both life-threatening and serious medical conditions.

Toronto is Canada’s largest city, the fourth largest in North America, and home to a diverse population of about 2.8 million people. It is a global centre for business, finance, arts and culture and is consistently ranked one of the world’s most livable cities. Toronto is proud to be the Host City for the 2015 Pan American and Parapan American Games. For information on non-emergency City services and programs, Toronto residents, businesses and visitors can visit toronto.ca, call 311, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, or follow us @TorontoComms.
