NEWS: Grey County is excited to announce the upcoming completion of its newest paramedic base in Feversham and welcome the community to a #PublicOpenHouse on Friday, October 23 from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.! 🚑💙🚨

The base is located south of Feversham at 494140 Grey Road 2. The event offers community members a chance to tour the new facility, learn about paramedic services, and see firsthand how the base will benefit emergency healthcare delivery in the region. Guests can also see paramedic vehicles and equipment up close to learn more about how paramedics deliver care in an emergency. An official ribbon cutting will take place at 1:45 p.m.

“If you have ever wanted to see inside an ambulance, see inside a base, or ask a Grey County paramedic a question, this is your opportunity,” said Grey County Paramedic Services Chief Kevin McNab.

The new Feversham base provides a permanent home for paramedic crews serving the area. The new facility was built by Domm Construction Ltd. The total cost of the project including professional fees and site preparation is $2.4 million.

It is one of four additional bases in Grey County’s capital and operational plans. Future bases are being considered for #Ayton, #Thornbury and #CobbleBeach based on forecast population growth. The Paramedic Services Comprehensive Deployment Review projects a 68% increase in call volumes across Grey County between 2023-2033.

“When an accident or medical emergency happens, Grey County residents and visitors should feel confident help will arrive quickly,” said Grey County Warden Andrea Matrosovs. “Grey County is investing in our paramedic services not just to meet the needs of our community today, but for years to come.”

An update to the Comprehensive Services Review will be presented to County Council late this year or early in 2027.
