Canadian Emergency News welcomes submissions from freelance writers, experts in the Canadian Emergency Medical Service professions and letters to the editor. Whether is a comment about something published in Canadian Emergency News, an article about an innovative product or practice in your service, or a challenging call, we want to hear about it.

Freelance writers should submit a query letter first, indicating the topic they are going to write on, what sources they will contact for their story and an estimated word length.

Columnist inquiries are also welcome. Writers who would like to submit a regular column to Canadian Emergency News should send an e-mail message outlining the topic or topics they will focus on, as well as a brief biography about themselves, including area of expertise, education background, and work experience.

All articles should be submitted as MS Word documents. Other formats must be approved in advance. Any accompanying photos or graphics should be submitted as separate jpeg files, with a resolution of 300 pixels per inch (300 DPI).

We reserve the right to edit to size and for libelous content. We also reserve the right, at the publisher's discretion, to not publish submitted materials whether solicited or unsolicited. Unsigned letters without contact information (for confirmation purposes) will not be published. In some circumstances, names will be withheld by request.

Please send all materials to Publisher/Editor Lyle Blumhagen, at or by mail to Canadian Emergency News, 1121 Newcastle Rd., Drumheller, Alberta, Canada T0J 0Y2. We can also be reached by telephone at (403) 823-2290.
