Amicus Response Corps

Happy New Year!

Please celebrate responsibly!
We are looking forward to our 2022 events!

To our volunteer members currently working EMS, Fire, Policing or Nursing stay safe!

Are you as excited as we are for Christmas?

Many of our members are actively working flights, ground ambulance, and in hospitals this time of the season.

We at ARC want to thank every single one of our Paramedics, Nurses, and Medical First Responders for all that they do during our volunteer season and throughout their professional careers.

We are excited to announce another upcoming event with the Heavy Armored Combat Sports Association. Come watch with us as we support their first Buhurt League Event! Come see the Knights in Action and be part of the biggest medieval combat tournament in Canada!

The link for the event and more information is here: https://fb.me/e/YbCzA6pn

We are proud to be a part of the Alberta MFR program. Alberta Health Services assists us at all the events we volunteer at by providing us a tonne of resources!

For those interested in volunteering with us, or wanting to know more about our MFR program, we recommend checking out www.albertamfr.ca Our volunteers get access to a lot of training through AHS as a perk too!

AHS | Medical First Response Welcome to the Official AHS Medical First Response Portal

Don't forget, if you are a charity or non-profit we can help provide cost effective options for Standard First Aid and CPR. If you know a group that would benefit, pass our information along!

Sadly, we do not provide public courses as our services are volunteer! Private groups can be helped though with proceeds benefiting our service! Go to www.Amicuscorps.org to find out more!

We are grateful to have represented ourselves and lay a wreath at the Al Azhar Shriners Remembrance Day ceremony in Calgary.

Thank you to the various groups, Corps, and individuals present for running a great ceremony.

Lest we forget.

At 1100hrs Mountain Time, take a moment to reflect on the freedoms and peace in your life, and to remember the men and women who served and sacrificed for all we have today.

Lest we forget.

ARC has proud ties to several military & paramilitary organizations. We are extremely proud to have past members of the Canadian Armed Forces volunteering for us at a variety of charitable events.

Due to the pandemic, a lot of communities have had to endure smaller ceremonies or outright cancellations. We are excited to announce that you can see the virtual ceremony at The Royal Canadian Legion - National Headquarters page.

Keep in mind it starts at 1045am (Ontario Time) or 0845hrs (Alberta Time).

As a company heavy with veterans, we are proud to support them. We are excited to be joining the "Slip on your red campaign". This campaign is brought to you by the Paramedic Chiefs of Canada and the Wounded Warriors Canada.

On Fridays, or significant days of memorial, you will see our members sporting them!

We encourage all services to join where appropriate!

When we started supporting charities, non-profits, and non-profiting community events the GY6: Charity Shooting Competition was one of the first to have us out.

For those of you who don't know, GY6 is a fundraising event that supports the Military, Veterans, Police, Firefighters, and EMS who are struggling with PTSD. All money raised has gone to different programs such as Wounded Warriors Canada, Can Praxis, & Valour Place.

Excitingly, another event is coming Summer 2022!

Shout out to Marshal the Fire Dog from Paw Patrol for showing up to the Make-A-Wish Canada, Southern Alberta Rope For Hope, which had Over The Edge helping people cross off some amazing experiences.

We love being able to support such a terrific cause!
