The CUPE Ambulance Committee of Ontario, also known as “CACO”, serves to unite emergency medical workers of Ontario in co-ordinating and presenting common objectives and matters pertaining to workers in the ambulance sector. We present matters of legal, policy and legislative concern of emergency medical workers to CUPE Ontario, the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions (OCHU) and CUPE National. At all time we work for the good and welfare of the members in the ambulance sector and work for the support of the programs of CUPE Ontario, and encourage affiliation to CUPE Ontario. Our members play key roles in this committee.
This year's CACO's annual Conference last week also marked the end of the Paramedic Ride in Ottawa. Paramedic Ride is a not-for-profit organization run by volunteer paramedics and cyclists, and we are dedicated to raising funds in support of a National Paramedic Memorial Monument which will be built in Ottawa, Ontario. Since 1988, 39 Canadian Paramedics have lost their lives in the line of duty. This important monument will be a place where family, friends, colleagues and civilians can go to remember their loved ones and to honour all Canadian Paramedics.
