From the time the Peel Paramedic Benevolent Fund was established, part of the vision was to honor our colleagues who have passed away.
In December 2018, we were proud to announce the creation of 5 scholarships to be awarded annually, with presentations taking place at the Peel Paramedic awards gala.
The Peel Paramedic Benevolent Fund proudly announces the following scholarships.
