Strathcona County Emergency Services is an integrated service
that is proud to provide complete fire suppression, rescue and emergency
medical services to the residents of Strathcona County. On January 12,
1993, the department was contacted by the family of Mrs. Murial Meyer,
a former patient that had been transported to the hospital on multiple
occasions prior to passing away from her illness. During those transports,
the family was touched by the treatment and respect provided to them by
the department members who had cared for Mrs. Meyer. As a sign of their
gratitude and appreciation for that treatment, the family wanted to make
a donation towards the Honour Guard. Their one request was that if the
Guard was going to purchase any lasting single object with the donation,
that object be inscribed to indicate the memory of Murial Meyer.
