Plan would combine Nipgion and Red Rock stations, as well as merging Schreiber and Terrace Bay, while closing the Beardmore base.
THUNDER BAY — Municipal leaders in Superior North are continuing to express concerns about a plan to reduce the number of ambulance bases across the region.
Last year, Thunder Bay city council approved the service's master plan, which includes consolidating ambulance stations in Nipgion and Red Rock as well as Schreiber and Terrace Bay, along with the closure of the base in Beardmore to redeploy its ambulance to Longlac. Muir pointed to the plan to use its community paramedicine program to continue having personnel in Beardmore, but said "without a doubt" that closing the station was for the best for the service, given its staffing challenges and rising call volume.
Muir added that the service doesn't have the paramedic staff to keep the station open, but have “bulked up” their staffing in Geraldton and Longlac to have multiple shifts covering 24 hours. Pietsch acknowledged the resource and staffing challenges, as well as the use of the community paramedicine program, but noted that Muir's presentation showed Greenstone had a high rate of emergency calls.
