Medical Venturers, MedVents, is a Scouts Canada vocational program whose members have an interest in the medical field. The sponsor of the group is usually local Paramedic Services. The vocational group can be an independent Scout group or be a program within a Scout group.
The Markham MedVent is still holding our weekly meetings. We have suspended all of our service events until we are notified by Scouts Canada that we can proceed with our service events.
As we have planned prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 1st NewMarket MedVents and 1st Markham MedVents have merged their training sessions.

Congratulations to MedVent Chris on receiving a 2015 Intercultural Dialogue Institute’s Public Heroes Youth Recognition award. He is Toronto Paramedic Services award recipient.
It’s my first year of MedVents, and so far I am enjoying it. I’ve been able to meet a lot of new people, and learn a lot of skills. I’ve also been able to practice my first aid skills, which I probably wouldn’t have done on my own time. The highlight of the year for me was MedVenturee.
