Paramedic Service. Call volumes have continued to rise at alarming rates.

• The number of serious and life-threatening calls rose from 16,000 in 2015

to 21,200 in 2016. This is an increase of over 5,000 patient transports. Total call volume totalling 29,842 responses.

• Peterborough Paramedics are now responding to a serious or life

threatening call every 24 minutes on average.

Peterborough County City Paramedics

• Despite the rapidly increasing call volumes, 2016 was a

year that saw significant improvements to the Ambulance Offload Delay Pressures. The staff at PRHC have been working collaboratively with PCCP management and have deployed a number of processes to improve patient flow.

• While the current flu season has

caused some recent Offload increases, we are hopeful this will be an anomaly and look forward to continued improvements in 2017.

• PCCP undertook an extensive and detailed 10 year Facility and

Resource Masterplan in 2016, which will be used to inform the County and City Councils of what future needs can be expected to maintain Emergency Medical Services to continue to meet the community needs.

• An immediate resource need identified was coverage improvements to

the City’s West side. PCCP Administration deployed a roaming Paramedic Response Unit 24 hours per day on the west side.

• Immediate improvements on response times in both City and County

have been realized. To permanently address the continued growth and response needs, an additional Paramedic station will be opened at 1003 Clonsilla Avenue this spring.

• We can anticipate the consolidation of PED and PKT and

relocation under one roof at Venture North in the spring.

• Relaunch of a comprehensive Corporate Calling and BRE

program for local industry in the Advanced Manufacturing, Clean Technology, Agriculture, Aerospace and Tourism Sectors.

Peterborough Ec Dev … in 2017

success stories in our region and telling the world that Peterborough & the Kawarthas is an amazing place to live, work, study, invest and visit.

1) Infrastructure and Connectivity

• Realizing additional Federal/Provincial

investments into infrastructure renewal and working with the senior governments to enhance connectivity as per recent CRTC decision 2) Growing our Regional Economy

• Continued advocacy on the issues of hydro cost and natural gas

expansions

• Working together with the separated cities on issues like economic

strategy, workforce development, etc. 3) Reducing Operational Costs (macro-level)

• Lobby for changes to legislation that will assist to deliver cost efficiencies

2017 EOWC and EORN Priorities

2017 … and Beyond

(a grab bag of issues that municipalities will need to deal with and that the general public are going to hear a lot more about!  )

• How is the Province actually going to

implement the Waste Free Ontario Act … a system that moves to “producer responsibility” and no doubt consumer payment?

• How will the Feds and Province

implement CAP and TRADE…? and, what will be the implications for municipalities, business and industry and homeowners?

• The AMO (Association of Municipalities of Ontario) “What’s Next Ontario”

campaign to identify potential financial solutions and develop a longer term strategy to address pressures on the property tax… *Projected needs are 8.5% increase each year for the next 10 years to handle operating costs and escalating infrastructure deficit costs

• Service delivery changes that are desired or considered necessary as a

result of “aging demographic” and the related gaps between the Provincial “Aging at Home” strategy and the local reality of availability and accessibility of Health Care and Long Term Care.
