The "Coop�rative des Param�dics de l'Outaouais" (Outaouais Paramedics' Cooperative) groups more than 200 paramedics scattered all over the region of Outaouais, southern Qu�bec. Every year, the Coop�rative answers more than 34,000 calls and organizes some 30,000 medical transports.

On 2 August 2008, Marie-Lou Dubois, aged 29 and employed by the Coop�rative since June 2008, was killed in a traffic accident caused by a teenager driving a stolen car. Mrs. Dubois' funeral took place in Gatineau on 9 August, as reported by "Le Droit", 11 August 2008. A photograph by �tienne Ranger shows the entrance of the coffin into the church, honoured by a guard of paramedics, firemen and policemen from the regions of Ottawa and Outaouais. The flag of the Coop�rative is shown on the photograph as white with the emblem of the Coop�rative.
