In Nova Scotia, there are over 1,100+ paramedics who dedicate their lives to public service. To help better understand what daily life is like on the front lines of health care, we went behind the scenes, capturing the experiences of these first responders in their own words and photos.
Colin's Story
As Colin Mackinnon wraps up treating a patient, he hears a familiar comment that he and his team receive regularly.

For the last three years, Mackinnon has been part of the Cape Breton Community-based Paramedic Program, which has changed how patients receive care in that area.
