# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Protecting a 114-Year Fire/EMS Legacy
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 14 May, 2026 at 12:00 pm (-06:00)
- **Event Description**: Lethbridge is home to the longest-standing integrated Fire / EMS system in North America. We will discuss the proven success of this model and the current threat the system is under from the provincial government. This transition isn't just a policy shift; it is a direct threat to patient outcomes. In our city, this is literally a life-and-death decision. Public safety must always come before profit, and EMS should never be handed to the lowest bidder.

Speaker: Brent Nunweiler, President, Lethbridge Firefighters IAFF Local 237

Brent Nunweiler is a 20-year Advanced Care Paramedic and Firefighter in the City of Lethbridge, where he has spent two decades on the front lines protecting his community. As the President of IAFF Local 237, Brent brings "boots-on-the-ground" leadership and a veteran’s perspective to the fight for the future of our emergency services.

He is a fierce advocate for Lethbridge’s 114-year legacy of integrated Fire/EMS—a system where every responder is a dual-trained paramedic and firefighter. His philosophy is rooted in the reality of the calls he has answered for twenty years: public safety must always come before profit. Brent believes that when it comes to a matter of life and death, emergency medical services should never be handed to the lowest bidder. He is sounding the alarm because he knows firsthand that when you move to cut costs in a crisis, it will cost lives.
