Council steps up to fund paramedic project to support vulnerable seniors

Vulnerable seniors in Kawartha Lakes may get the help they need after Kawartha Lakes City Council endorsed the idea of a three-month pilot run by local paramedics.

Mayor Andy Letham brought forward the proposed project idea by Kawartha Lakes Paramedic Service today after the Local Health Integration twice turned the paramedics down for $25,000 to fund the pilot.

Reader Spotlight in Lindsay Advocate February Edition

"I’m reading Peter Robinson’s latest offering, Careless Love, a great read for a cold night, with a glass of wine and a cozy room. It is the latest Inspector Alan Banks mystery with a familiar cast and a page-turning plot. Robinson, a Canadian, writes about a rural English Police Force, and besides the mayhem, paints vivid word pictures of the people, towns, and scenery. I really like this book.”
