The County of Renfrew has purchased the property at 330 Boundary Road East in Pembroke to be used as a future Paramedic Base for the County of Renfrew Paramedic Service. It is anticipated construction will be completed in late 2026.
RELEASE DATE:
March 17, 2025
The County of Renfrew is moving forward with a new Paramedic Base to help enhance 911 response to the City of Pembroke and the surrounding municipalities of Laurentian Valley, North Algona Wilberforce, Whitewater Region and Petawawa.
The County has purchased 330 Boundary Road East, Pembroke for the future Paramedic Base. The new location will replace the current base near the Pembroke Regional Hospital, which has housed the Paramedic Service for more than 30 years.
This project, which will be administered by the County’s Real Estate Division, will redevelop and redesign the existing 10,500 square foot building on the property into a new innovative space for the County of Renfrew Paramedic Service, with construction to commence in early 2025 and anticipated completion in late 2026.
The new location will also create an opportunity to increase the ability for the Paramedic Service to provide programs such as Mesa, a Renfrew County Virtual Triage and Assessment Centre (RC VTAC) clinic, specialized response for remote access incidents in these areas, and support operations across Renfrew County. The close proximity to the County Administration Building made the purchase of this property appealing and offers greater collaboration with other departments.
The Horwitz family, the previous owners, are delighted to hear about the new purpose for the building and the lasting impact it will have on the community. They are excited to see how this transformation will benefit the area for many years to come.
This project will be similar to the new Paramedic Base in Eganville, which opened in November 2024. In that case, the County purchased the former O’Grady Brothers Limited Garage at the corner of Highway 41 and County Road 512 (Foymount Road) and converted it into a functional space which boasts 2,500 square feet of office space and includes shower and changing facilities, kitchen and dining area, lounge, quiet quarters and meeting space in addition to a 4,000 square-foot four-bay garage to house Paramedic Service vehicles.
