Chaired by Councillor E. Moore 11.1. Recreational Water Facility Safety Inspections

Received 2016-597 11.5. Update on Regional Ambulance Communications Centre Advocacy

Received 2016-598 Peter Dundas, Chief and Director, Paramedic Services, advised that the Province of Ontario operates the majority of ambulance dispatch centres, including the Central Ambulance Communications Centre (CACC) located in Mississauga which dispatches for Peel and Halton. The Mississauga CACC is the busiest centre outside of Toronto. He stated that the current triage tool used at the CACC over prioritizes 911 calls, meaning it sends out Peel ambulances with red lights and sirens approximately 75 % of the time, when in reality a much smaller number actually require this level of response. This places a strain on the system and makes it difficult to move ambulance resources around to maintain coverage in the community. The Region has advocated that the triage tool needs to be immediately updated. Chief Dundas also highlighted the need for the dispatch to provide access to real time data and improved technologies within the dispatch centre to better predict where ambulances should be located to ensure the most effective coverage and response. The lack of accountability agreements between the provincially operated CACCs and Paramedic Services means there is no framework for addressing concerns. While the province has recognized challenges within the current system, Peter Dundas emphasized that continued advocacy I needed to ensure the province implements changes in a timely manner. 11.6. Provision of Advanced Care Paramedic Training

Moved by Councillor Innis, Seconded by Councillor Gibson; That the contract (Document 2016-429N) to provide Advanced Care Paramedicine education be awarded to Humber College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning (Humber), for an initial three (3) year period, in the estimated total amount of $540,000 (exclusive of applicable taxes), in accordance with Purchasing By-law 113-2013;


And further, that approval be granted to award two (2) optional 12 month terms, subject to satisfactory performance and pricing.

(WMSAC-3/2016) meeting held on June 16, 2016 Councillor Saito expressed concerns regarding the Region of Peel holding drop-off events for residents to take back old waste bins and exchange carts rather than doing curbside pickup.
