‘Lip service’: Wolseley, Sask. mayor wants action, not talk, as emergency services remain closed
Hill said that Wolseley’s ambulance service comes out of Grenfell and serves both towns as well as First Nations in the area and the rural community. He calls the ambulance capacity, or lack thereof, yet another symptom of an under-resourced provincial health-care system.

“I don’t think they really thought that through, how that was going to affect these communities,” he said, calling emergency services something “pretty tough to get back” once they’re gone.
