While the Town of Drumheller is planning to pull out of the Badlands Ambulance Society, emergency medical services will continue to be provided in the area.
On October 4, the Badlands Ambulance Society will be meeting. They will be voting on whether to divest its ambulance service, allowing the province the full responsibility of providing ambulance. Drumheller, as a member of the board, has one vote and has decided to leave.
If the board is in agreement to exit the provision of ambulance service, there will be a transition period of up to six months for the changes. During this time and beyond, ambulance service in Drumheller will be uninterrupted.
