Nope. People that are 11 years of age. I know a paramedic who signed on when he was 11 and now hes 64 and still working with BCAS!
EDIT: They sign on as a Junior Paramedic, added as a third person on a ambo, then gradually when they turn 16 they go to a full paramedic. Its a province wide (No Sh*t sherlock) practice. Its sorta a junior program.
