Winnipeg, MB – On Thursday, October 24, members of the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service will participate in a live training exercise organized by the Canadian Pacific (CP) Railway at the CP Winnipeg Yard between McPhillips Street and Arlington Street. As such, residents may notice a congregation of emergency vehicles in the general area.
These exercises are important as they allow first responders from many partner agencies to work together in a relevant public space to educate the public and coordinate response services. They allow responders to practice skills, identify gaps and build relationships.
