May 7th, Saskatoon, SK — Crestline Coach is proud to celebrate Paramedic Services Week (May 17–23, 2026) by recognizing the paramedics who serve their communities with dedication, resilience, and compassion. Every day, paramedics bring care, expertise, and reassurance to people in their most critical moments, making a lasting impact far beyond each call.
At Crestline, supporting paramedics means staying connected to the people behind the profession. It means showing up, building relationships, and creating opportunities to recognize the work being done on the front lines.
In partnership with Demers Ambulances, Crestline is pleased to relaunch its annual Photo Contest, an initiative that has become a valued tradition within the paramedic community.
Year after year, paramedics across Canada share images that reflect their reality: teamwork, challenging environments, moments of pride, and the human side of emergency care.
Following a record-breaking edition in 2025, with more than 130 submissions, the contest continues to highlight the diversity and strength of paramedic services nationwide. From powerful action shots to meaningful team moments and vehicle pride, each photo offers an authentic perspective on life in the field.
This year’s theme, “Together, for better outcomes,” reflects the importance of collaboration in delivering quality care. Paramedics are invited to submit photos in three categories:
- Team
- Vehicle
- Reality in the field
Winning teams will receive $350 toward a station lunch, creating a moment to celebrate together and recognize the collective effort behind every call.
We extend our sincere thanks to all past participants and winners (2024 recap is here). Your photos not only tell powerful stories but they also help strengthen connections across the paramedic community and shine a light on the work you do every day.
“This contest is about celebrating paramedics in a way that feels real and meaningful. It’s about giving them a platform to share their world, while bringing the community closer together.”
Marcel Fortin, Director of Ambulance Sales in Canada.
Annual BBQ and Fundraiser for paramedics
To further mark Paramedic Services Week, Crestline is proud to host its annual Paramedic Appreciation BBQ on Thursday, May 21, 2026, at its head office in Saskatoon. (Here is the 2025 edition’s recap).
This event has become a cornerstone of Crestline’s celebrations, bringing paramedics, partners, and community members together in a relaxed and welcoming setting. More than just a gathering, the BBQ reflects Crestline’s commitment to supporting those on the front lines, while also giving back through community engagement initiatives.
At Crestline, building ambulances is only part of the story. Supporting paramedics means creating meaningful connections, celebrating their contributions, and standing alongside them, on and off the road.
To all paramedics: thank you for your strength, your dedication, and your compassion. We are proud to celebrate you during Paramedic Service Week and every day.
