EMS
Ambulance service in Wellington County is provided by Guelph-Wellington Paramedic Service (GWPS). GWEMS (Guelph-Wellington Emergency Medical Service) is an older name that is still seen on some signage (such as Elmira Rd base).
EMS Stations are paged via Cambridge CACC Paging Hub (419.7625), or on the MOH Provincial Paging frequency (149.44000). As of July 2021, two tone voice pages are still used.
Dispatch/Tactical Communications can be found on Bell Fleetnet Zone 1 Talkgroup 35552 - Tactical 3 - Wellington/Dufferin and hospital patches are completed via the Bell Fleetnet Zone 1 Talkgroup 35488 - North - Hospital Patch.
On the University of Guelph Campus, the First Response Team is dispatched by the University of Guelph Campus Community Police on the University of Guelph DMR 339002 - Fire Prevention/First Response Team
The City of Guelph's master plan for GWPS can be seen here: https://guelph.ca/wp-content/uploads/paramedic_master_plan.pdf

Ambulance Stations
GWEMS has several stations and posts throughout its 2600 square kilometre coverage area. Posts (or 'satellite stations') do not contain full amenities and paramedics don't report to work at these locations. Instead, paramedics would begin their shift at a nearby station and then moved to posts during their shift for optimal coverage.[8]
Current Stations
A map of EMS stations for GWPS and other nearby paramedic services is available here.
- Base 00 - Station Elmira Road (Guelph)
- 355 Elmira Road North, Unit 134 Melran Mall, Guelph (ambulance bays located in the back, at northern most corner of building)
- Base 02 - Station Fergus

- Base 05 - Station Arthur
- Arthur Fire Hall, 103 Smith Street, Arthur
- Base 06 - Station Harriston

- Base 07 - Drayton Post (possibly a station in Drayton now)
- Drayton Fire Hall, 12 Main Street West, Drayton

- Base 09 - York Rd Post (Guelph)
- Base 10 - Station Hillsburgh
- Hillsburgh Fire Hall, 2 Station Street, Hillsburgh
- Base 12 - Carden
- Most likely a temporary post in use during Guelph's "Safe Semester", located somewhere downtown on or near Carden St.
Future Stations
A new EMS station at 34 Gordon St in Guelph was expected to open in April 2021 to replace the York Rd post[11]. As of July 2021, the EMS station has not opened yet.
Former Locations
GWPS used to have a facility on 65 Delhi St in Guelph, but has since moved to the post on York Rd[12].
Roaming Zones
The ERV (2358) is sometimes assigned to a roaming zone in Guelph. The vehicle will usually stay running with the radio on in its assigned zone waiting for a call.
- Core (Downtown Guelph)
- West End
- University Zone
Standby Locations
When an ambulance is moved from Rockwood towards Guelph for coverage (code 8), they sometimes have it stand by at Eramosa/Victoria or another intersection.
Ambulance Pager Tone Outs
Base pages/Tone outs are heard on 149.440 MHz in Guelph, and can be heard with any conventional scanner on FM. 2 tones are played in sequence (see table below for tone frequencies), and then a normal FM voice transmission is heard afterwards.
Tone Frequencies have been rounded up/down to the closet frequency in the GE Type 99 Table 1.
Station | Tone A | Tone B | Cap Code |
