When Jackie Greenham's brother suffered a heart attack on July 21, he needed far more complex treatment than the family could find in Labrador City. "He was in a bad way. He was critical," Greenham recalls. "We didn't know if he was going to make it or not. His heart had stopped twice.

 En décembre 2019, l'Association des Paramédics du Canada a subi la perte soudaine d’un de ses administrateurs. Guillaume Champagne Raymond était président de notre chapitre québécois, la Corporation des paramédics du Québec. Il était un grand homme qui marquait chaque personne qu'il rencontrait. La paramédecine était une grande passion pour Guillaume et il travaillait sans relâche pour amener l’ordre professionnel des paramédics au Québec.
Afin d’honorer la mémoire de Guillaume, une pièce commémorative a été conçue par son ami Derek Cassista. Cette pièce permettra d’amasser des fonds pour la création d’un fonds d'étude pour ses deux jeunes fils.
Les pièces sont vendues au coût de 20 $ chacune, plus 2 $ pour son expédition.
