The BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) Provincial Honour Guard is a unique and well-trained team of paramedics who volunteer their time to march at ceremonial events throughout the province.
The first unit of its kind in British Columbia, the BCEHS Provincial Honour Guard program was established in the autumn of 1989 and includes members from all BCEHS ranks, classifications and operational areas. A single unit with contingents in each area of the province, the BCEHS Provincial Honour Guard also includes several retired BCEHS members, four pipers, two buglers and a chaplain.
Now boasting a province-wide compliment of over 50 dedicated members, the BCEHS Provincial Honour Guard is a fixture at a wide variety of events including Remembrance Day and Canada Day ceremonies, service awards, retirement dinners, weddings, memorial services and royal visits. It has become recognized both nationally and internationally as a symbol of the province and of BCEHS.
