4:12pm- Chairperson Sarah Jayne King Re: The Canadian Federations of Students-Ontario launched a toolkit in hopes of fighting sexual violence. This is in hopes that it will assist students unions and campus organizations in addressing sexual violence in Ontario Colleges and Universities. The toolkit includes: a database of local sexual assault resources, a fact sheet on sexual violence, a campus safety checklist, a template for campus sexual assault policies, ideas about how to respond if university or college administrators are unwilling to address sexual violence on campus.
4:42pm- Dr. Liana Nolan, Waterloo Region Medical Officer of Health, Re: On Tuesday, a scathing Ministry of Health report about the regional ambulance service was before regional councillors. The report said a ministry review found local paramedics failed to consistently follow patient-care standards between January and August last year. As a result, 26 of the 171 paramedics were disciplined, including the firing of two. Ambulance director John Prno also departed. Nolan said in 15 of the 562 calls reviewed by ministry officials, paramedics changed a Code 4 call — the most serious, urgent emergency — to a less urgent Code 3 because they didn’t agree with ambulance dispatcher’s assessment.
