‘This is horrifying': Massive increase in reports of violence against Halton paramedics in Milton, Oakville, Halton Hills, Burlington
More than 500 incidents of violence against Halton's paramedics have been reported since 2022. The External Violence Against Paramedics report was presented to Halton Regional Council on July 9. The report detailed a massive increase in violent incidents reported against paramedics since 2022, the outline of a new campaign to combat those incidents, and an explanation of why officials believe this is happening. According to the report, it's common for paramedics to encounter incidents of violence, such as aggressive behaviour, verbal abuse — including racist and homophobic comments — physical assault and sexual harassment. 'This is horrifying. Nobody deserves to be treated this way,' said Burlington Mayor Marianne Meed Ward. 'So sorry that you are experiencing this — it's absolutely unacceptable.' In 2022, there were a total of 10 incidents of violence reported against paramedics. In 2024, there were 254. A significant reason for that increase was a change in the way these incidents were reported. Prior to December 2022, if a paramedic experienced violence they needed to fill out a workplace injury report which officials described as cumbersome. The new External Violence Against Paramedics (EVAP) system, used to track incidents of violence, is far more streamlined and has resulted in much more reporting. Greg Sage, chief of paramedic services at Halton Region, said the numbers also reflect a societal change. 'I think the decline in civility certainly has something to do with what we're seeing. We all see it in our daily lives — people go from zero to 100 for no reason at all,' said Sage. The problem is not unique to Halton. The Paramedic Chiefs of Canada, an advocacy group for paramedics, released a position statement on the issue stating that 75 per cent of Canadian paramedics have experienced violence on the job. When paramedics encounter inappropriate behaviour, they have several actions they can take, including leaving the scene and calling for police assistance. Part of the problem in responding to these incidences is staff often don't wish to pursue police action. Sage said there is a persistent belief that this is just part of the job. In response to the violence, Halton paramedics will be put through new conflict avoidance strategy training this year. A communications campaign is also being launched to promote a message that violence towards paramedics will not be tolerated. Sage said reports of violence are so common he was reading one right before he presented at the regional council meeting. 'These are coming in on a daily basis, and I would expect that after this campaign and after we do the training, we'll probably see another uptick in reporting as awareness rises with our team,' said Sage. 'Then I hope that through our efforts, we can drive that number back down eventually.' Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request. There was a problem with the recaptcha.

Sage Therapeutics cuts more than 330 jobs after announcing its $795 million acquisition
Sage and Supernus could not immediately be reached for comment. With its planned purchase of Sage, Supernus will have access to Zurzuvae, the only postpartum depression drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration. 'This acquisition represents a major step in bolstering our future growth,' Supernus CEO Jack Khattar said in a statement. Advertisement The deal is expected to close in the third quarter of this year. The last few years have been rocky for Sage, which was founded in 2010 to research treatments for brain diseases and went public in 2014. The FDA failed to approve Zurzuvae to treat the more common major depressive disorder in 2023. Sage codeveloped the drug with Biogen, another Cambridge biotech. In August 2023, Sage Sage rejected a $469 million acquisition offer from Biogen in January, stating the offer undervalued the company. Advertisement Supernus, which has existed in different iterations for three decades, specializes in diseases of the central nervous system. The company has several commercial products for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, epilepsy and migraines. Marin Wolf can be reached at
