COMMUNITY Halton paramedics wearing yellow epaulettes to support cancer society Nikki Wesley / Metroland Paramedic Catherine Weigel, Deputy Chief Peter McMurrough, Paramedic Kevin Asenjo, President of OPSEU Local 207 Michael Lawson and Vice President Chris Howard show off their new yellow epaulettes to help the Canadian Cancer Society promote April as Daffodil Month. When it comes to the fight against cancer, Hat­ ton's EMS are putting their heart on their shelves. Make that a little higher up. Choosing the Canadian Cancer Society as this year's worthy cause, mem­ bers o f the Professional Paramedics o f Halton Re­ gion have opted to trade in their regular blue epau­ lettes for yellow ones to mark Daffodil Month. The yellow ornamental shoulder piece will be worn throughout April. "As far as I know we're the first paramedic service or any emergency service in Ontario to wear yellow epaulettes. Many services wear pink in October to support breast cancer and several wear blue in No­ vember for prostate cancer, but we wanted to recognize all the different forms o f cancer, to bring awareness and raise m oney for them all," said Michael Lawson, President o f the OPSEU L207 Professional Para­ medics o f Halton Region. Both the local paramed­ ics and management will be raising funds for the Cana­ dian Cancer Society's Hal­ ton Unit and reaching out to family and friends for their support.
