Feature | CÔTE SAINT-LUC EMS: IMMERSE YOURSELF (Short Documentary Series Premiere)

"Côte Saint-Luc EMS: Immerse Yourself" is MTL.911's first documentary short film which follows the true story of Michael Lessard, an experienced volunteer first responder at Côte Saint-Luc Emergency Medical Services who has been serving the community since 2005. Faced with the many challenges that come with every shift, Michael has to make critical decisions to ensure the health and safety of his patients, testing the limits of his physical and mental states.
"Côte Saint-Luc Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is an all-volunteer service that provides emergency response services and first-aid training to residents of Côte Saint-Luc, and has since 1980. Together, a team of volunteer leaders supervise more than 95 volunteers to offer superior quality pre-hospital emergency medical care to the residents of and visitors to Côte Saint-Luc. Each year, EMS responds to more than 3,000 emergency medical calls, arriving on scene in less than four minutes and often making the difference between life and death."

Started out as Civil Protection and then EMO of which yours truly was a member of under Brian Pane. If I come back for a visit, can I sit in my dispatchers chair. I know we don't have RMF 11 anymore so the chair has to do.

Sorry, you'd have to speak to someone at EMS directly, but I'm sure they'd love to have you back for a visit! They're quite welcoming, as you may know!
