Ontario Municipalities Dealing with Ambulance Response Times

Several Ontario municipalities, including in Wellington County have been facing immense pressure with the stretch of times when no ambulances are available to respond to calls.

Code Reds were a more than common issue in 2022 for Guelph-Wellington Paramedics with 50 issued, a massive increase from 4 in 2021 and none in 2020.

Code Reds are used when no paramedics are currently available to respond to a call, typically due to offload delays with paramedics needing time to transfer patients.

In times such as this, it relies on fire department crews to respond.
