Zoo Medics is into its 2nd season after an overwhelmingly successful pilot launch last year. This exciting program sees Calgary Paramedics working at the Calgary Zoo along side zoo
staff during the peak summer months when attendance may exceed 400 000 visitors. In addition, the Zoo Medic is in place for long weekend holidays prior to summer, and other
special events at the zoo into the fall.
