The Oakville Beaver, W e d n e s d a y M a y 15, 2002 - A 7 Emergency operation centre `a commitment to excellence' Newfacility houses ambulance station, public works By Howard Mozel OAKVILLH BEA VER S TA FF A FASHION STATEMENT: OAC students at Oakville T rafalgar High School recently organized a Blossom in Spring Fashion Show in support of CNIB Halton/Peel District and Alzheimer disease research.

Jamie Smith · Last week's official opening of Halton Region's Woodlands Operation Centre was equal parts homage to the past and tribute to the future. On one hand, dignitaries spoke fondly of the storied history of the-land on which the facility now stands, including a 250year old white oak preserved during con struction. On the other, the centre's vital role in ensuring residents' health and safety for years to come was made crys tal clear. "We know the work we do touches the lives of many people in very important ways," said regional chair Joyce Savoline. "We know that if we do our work with a commitment to excellence, efficiency and service, we are able to make a real difference in the lives of the people we serve." Construction of the 62,000-sq.-ft. Woodlands Centre, located just north of regional headquarters on Bronte Road, began last year and today it's the new home for Halton's latest ambulance station and base hospital, water and wastewater opera tions staff and fleet operations. "Quality of life is determined not only by having access to the serv Joyce Savoline ices we require in emergencies, but by ensuring quality, service and efficiency in the ones we use every day," said Savoline. "Staff in this building are responsible for ensuring that our water and wastewater infrastructure is well maintained and that a plan is in place to meet the evolving demands that come as Halton Region grows." According to Ric Robertshaw, Halton's director of environmental serv ices, the Region's public works staff moved into a temporary South Service Road facility in 1982. It was upgraded five years later. A new project in the early '90s was postponed, however, because of economic circumstances but last year ground was finally broken on Woodlands. "We are pleased to be sharing this new centre with our colleagues in ambulance services, who had the same need that we, in planning and public works, did for a facility designed specifically to accom modate the work we do," said Robertshaw. "This building has turned out better than we anticipated during the planning stage." Ambulance Services Director Jim King is similarly proud of the new facili ty, which he believes will help serve the public given the 45 per cent increase in service provided by his staff. On August 16, 2000, Halton Region assumed full responsibility for delivering ambulance services after they were downloaded by the Province in 1997. The subsequent recruitment of advanced and primary care paramedics was rewarded with the hiring of highly-skilled men and women, a beefed-up budget and improved equipment. A total of 130 permanent part-time and volunteer employees now serve Halton's approximately 360,000 resi dents and cover an area of 959 square kilometres. "It was apparent from the start that we'd need a large facility," said King. "This couldn't come at a better time." Savoline echoed these sentiments. "It is a strategic priority for Halton Region that we continue to develop and deploy emergency medical services in a way that makes the most sense for the people we serve," said Savoline. "We will do this by ensuring the locations of dis patch centres make the most sense for our residents, by implementing quality and response time standards and by ensuring adequate provincial funding is received in order to help us support these initiatives." Dr. George Atkins, a long-time resi dent of the land on which Woodlands now stands, was also on hand to share a little history with those assembled. The property has supported uses as diverse as ship-building, fruit farming and the breeding of thoroughbred horses. One resident was Don Juan, the winner of the first running of the Queen's Plate in 1860. "It's great to be part of the history Dr. Atkins mentioned," added King.
