The theme of this year’s week is diversity in paramedicine, with an overall goal of sparking a conversation and awareness of the issue.

Health Critic Paul Dinn is extending gratitude and appreciation to those who work in the field.

He says it is a difficult career that takes hard work, dedication and desire.

Dinn says the party will continue fighting for better working conditions for paramedics.
