A paramedic from Dayspring has been awarded an exemplary services medal for his dedication.
Greg Bayers received the medal after more than 30 years in the emergency medical services field.
He is one of thirteen paramedics recognized this year.
Bayers attended his first ambulance call in Sheet Harbour when he was only 15 years-old.
He has served in a number of positions including senior operations paramedic, supervisor, and safety coach.
In a release, Lieutenant Governor Arthur J. LeBlanc says paramedics dedicate their careers to providing care to Nova Scotians in their greatest time of need, sometimes at personal risk.
The medal was created by Queen Elizabeth II in 1994.
It is part of a national recognition program for people who work in high-risk jobs that enhance Canada’s public safety.
