Dear Members;

Re:      Sullivan Mine Anniversary

Today is the eleven (11) year anniversary of the tragic loss of Paramedics Kim Weitzel and Shawn Currier 

Kim, 44, and Shawn, 21, both from the Kimberley Station, were responding to a call inside a water-testing shed at the decommissioned Sullivan Mine. Both Kim and Shawn, along with two mine employees, were overcome by a low oxygen atmosphere. All four tragically lost their lives.

Please take a moment today to remember Kim, Shawn and the 8 other Paramedics who have given the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

Sincerely,

The Provincial Executive Board
Ambulance Paramedics & Emergency Dispatchers of BC
