Paramedic Memorial Bell on tour in local area

The Paramedic Memorial Bell will be on Manitoulin Island and in Espanola today.

Elliot Lake hosted the tour yesterday says volunteer Gregor Thimmig.

He adds the bell has several stops throughout Ontario.

He says the bell recognizes paramedics, dispatchers and others who have lost the battle with PTSD and psychological injuries to suicide, as well as those who have fallen in the line of duty.

Thimmig says the formal ceremony includes an honour guard and the reading of the names with the bell tolled after each name is read.

He says Manitoulin-Sudbury paramedics invite the public to attend the ceremony at 347 Second Avenue at 12:15 pm with COVID-19 protocols in place.
