Grandview’s EMS station isn’t going away without a fight.

Residents are fighting to keep their ambulance station from closing.

“People of Grandview should be able to keep their ambulance station open. Because one, there should be health care close to home for the people who live in Grandview and surrounding communities like Valley River, but also it’s about the long-term future of the town. If they lose the ambulance station then the concern I’ve heard from people there is they might lose the ER, and hospital, and healthcare services that they have in town.”

NDP Leader Wab Kinew says it’s a sad commentary on the government that the community has to go and get their own consultants to prove they should have a health care service in town like the ems station.

The provincial plan calls for services to come out a Gilbert Plains.

Kinew say over the past couple of years he’s spoken with the Reeves before and after the election and done a lot of back and forth with doctors and the community as a whole.

Sue Stirling is a part of the Grandview Healthcare Solutions group says the government has done little in acknowledging their efforts, the only thing they did, was set up a meeting in November of 2017, since then, the government has ignored requests for a consultation.
