The event will take place April 17th-19th, 2011 in Montreal, Quebec at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth. This event is a collaboration between the Emergency Medical Services Chiefs of Canada (EMSCC), the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs (CAFC) and the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP). These three associations, along with protective services and government have been working together like never before on emergency service management issues - issues at the very core of public safety that are important to every Canadian. We invite you and your colleagues to attend this ground breaking conference, and benefit from the experience of experts in your industry on innovation, interoperability, first responder safety and information sharing. There is no greater knowledge base that exists than that within your respective emergency service management teams. We want to share with you what we have learned through our work, what is new in the emergency service management field, and let you know about upcoming learning opportunities that will bring together policing, fire, emergency medical services, industry, and academic leaders to engage for the common purpose of preparing our communities to respond effectively to any emergency. Delegates will be provided the opportunity to collaborate with other first responders, emergency managers, non-government organizations, military, government officials, and private industry representatives. The discussions will target the multi-agency and multi-jurisdictional emergency service management issues many services are facing, and create potential solutions to improve public safety through operational effectiveness. We want to draw on your experiences and your expertise to build integrated emergency service management strategies, policies, processes and practices that can be adapted and applied across Canada to reduce duplication of effort, optimize research data, promote new knowledge, improve resource allocation, improve interoperability, and improve first responder safety. We hope to see you and your emergency services management team members at this important event. Please visit the conference website for more information! Order of Merit Update
