The Paramedic Games™ Edition 2008 will be the beginning of a Paramedic Tradition.
Just like the World Police and Fire Games (W.P.F.G) and the World Fire Games (W.F.G), our games will be held every two years.

However, The Paramedic Games™ are different competitions. These competitions will provide a chance to Paramedics across Canada to demonstrate skills and abilities to save a human life. These skills and abilities require good judgement, agility, adaptation and team work.

The Paramedic Games™ are created by paramedics for paramedics and are dedicated to all present and future Paramedics across Canada and to all other worldwide paramedics who put their hearts and souls into saving lives of other people.

We would like to dedicate the Paramedic Games™ Edition 2008 to all the Canadian paramedics civilian and military who have died in the line of duty.

YOU HAVE MADE THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE IN SAVING AND PROTECTING THE PUBLIC.

We would also like to dedicate the Paramedic Games™ to all the Montreal city paramedics ON and OFF DUTY who were directly or indirectly affected by the DAWSON COLLEGE School shooting on September 13^th 2006. You have acted as Tactical paramedics without body armor or defensive weapons.

YOU HAVE RISKED YOUR OWN LIFE TO SAVE OTHERS.

Finally, we would like to dedicate the Paramedic Games™ to our Montreal and Laval cities deceased emergency partners:

To Valerie Gignac (badge # 803), Police Officer from Laval Quebec, who was killed in the line of duty December 14^th 2006.
To Marcel Marleau from Fire Station # 48, Montreal Firefighter Captain, who was killed in the line of duty January 2^nd 2007.
