9-1-1 Appreciation Day 2006 aids Tema

The first people to arrive on the scene, emergency services personnel witness traumatic events with every shift. Yet they continue to perform their essential duty of saving lives often in the face of unspeakable tragedy. So unspeakable, in fact, that many of these heroic individuals struggle quietly with the physical, psychological and emotional effects of their jobs.

The Tema Conter Memorial Trust was established to end the silence and ease the suffering. The charity was founded by Caledon's Vince Savoia, an attending paramedic at the murder scene of Tema Conter in 1988. Upon coping with post-traumatic stress as a result of this horrible episode, Savoia created the Tema Conter Memorial Trust.

The trust's purpose is two-fold: to honour the memory of Ms. Tema Conter and call attention to the acute trauma encountered by emergency services workers. These courageous and compassionate individuals are haunted by the scenes they encounter on a regular basis, and they need our help.
