At a time when many traditions fade, the Alliance of Canadian Paramedic Honour Guards (ACPHG) continues to uphold the values of respect, discipline, and unity that define the paramedic profession. Founded in 2007, the Alliance now brings together 46 honour guard units across Canada, including its most recent member in Yukon.<\/p>

Beyond commemorating fallen paramedics, the ACPHG helps strengthen public understanding of paramedicine, connects generations of professionals, and promotes a shared sense of pride across the country.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Each year since its founding, the Alliance has hosted its annual roundtable, rotating from province to province to encourage collaboration and learning.
The 2025 roundtable, held in Greater Sudbury, Ontario, featured the latest updates to the drill instructor program as part of the senior leaders\u2019 course, a key step in advancing training and mentorship within the honour guard network.<\/p>

\u201cWe continue to explore ways to support one another by sharing training, resources, and experience,\u201d explains Blaine Barody, President of the ACPHG and Advanced Care Paramedic with 30 years of service in Alberta.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Honour guards have been part of Canada\u2019s paramedic services since the late 1980s. While their presence is often seen at memorials and funerals, their mission extends far beyond those moments.<\/p>

\u201cHalf of what we do is memorial in nature, the other half celebrates life,\u201d Barody says.<\/p>

From graduations and retirements to station openings, awards, and weddings, honour guards embody professionalism and unity, reminding communities of the discipline and compassion that define paramedics. Their presence reflects a profession built on respect, for colleagues, for history, and for those they serve.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

A key focus of the ACPHG is to enhance the public and professional image of paramedics. Through training and mentorship, the Alliance helps members present themselves with confidence and precision, reinforcing the respect the profession deserves.<\/p>

Barody notes, \u201cWhen you wear a dress uniform, it should be in top condition and worn with pride. When we stand beside police, fire, and the Canadian Forces, we want to look like we belong there.\u201d<\/p>

This standard of excellence strengthens the reputation of paramedics as skilled professionals and trusted public safety partners.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

For many new recruits, the ceremonial side of the profession is unfamiliar. Through national mentorship and shared standards, the ACPHG helps local services introduce these traditions to new paramedics.<\/p>

\u201cWe provide resources and guidance for services looking to establish their own honour guard, helping them understand how tradition can lift morale and reinforce a sense of belonging,\u201d Barody explains.<\/p>

These customs connect today\u2019s EMS professionals to the long lineage of caregivers who once served on battlefields, reminding them that paramedicine has always been about courage, compassion, and community.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Paramedics interested in forming an honour guard are encouraged to start locally \u2014 speaking with their leadership teams before reaching out to the ACPHG. Once approved, new members are welcomed into the Alliance, gaining access to mentorship, resources, and training opportunities.<\/p>

\u201cWhat took us over a decade to build, we can now help others achieve in just a few years,\u201d says Barody.<\/p>

This collaboration ensures the tradition continues to grow and thrive across Canada.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
