Community Relationships

Mountain View Regional Emergency Services participates in a multitude of community events to foster a positive relationship.  While diverse, our involvement focuses on programs and events that encourages community involvement, injury prevention and good will. 

Helmet Program

A partnership was formed between Mountain View Regional Emergency Services and Timberline Sports to encourage kids of all ages to wear helmets when they ride their bikes. 

Participants entered a colouring contest and the top ten entrants were awarded free cycling helmets, donated by Timberline Sports.  Following the presentations, the kids and their parents were treated to pop and pizza and a tour of the ambulances.

School Programs

Mountain View Regional Emergency Services participates actively in community school programs.  To date we have been involved in the PARTY Program, injury prevention programs and Career Information Days.  Students are encouraged to talk to our staff and get hands on demonstrations of our equipment.

Blood Pressure Clinics

Mountain View Regional Emergency Services participates with local merchants to provide blood pressure clinics throughout our region.  This provided an excellent opportunity for residents to to meet our staff and witness what Emergency Medical Services they have access to.

Car Seat Safety Programs

A number of our staff are involved in Car Seat Safety Inspections, where we inspect installed child restraint devices.  This program is done in co-operation with the RCMP and local Health Regions.

Operation Christmas Child

Operation Christmas Child is a program operated by Samaritans Purse to distribute shoe boxes filled with toys, food and personal items to children in third world countries.  Mountain View Regional Emergency Services distributes empty shoe boxes to all the schools in the County, encouraging children to fill them with gender and age appropriate items.  Our Ambulances then go to the schools schools to collect the filled boxes,  bringing them to a central collection area in Calgary.  Ambulances from southern Alberta form a convoy to deliver these shoe boxes to a central collection in Calgary, from where they are eventually shipped to and placed in the hands of children around the world who are most in need.
