===Creation of McGill First Aid Service===

The McGill First Aid Service (MFAS) was established by students in the spring of 1997, supported by the Student Society of McGill University (SSMU.) Given the nature of several activities at McGill, a large number of people and crowds, the inherent free spirit of university students, the ambient weather and environment, and the fact that average emergency ambulance response time is at least 8-10 minutes, McGill is in need of a pre-hospital emergency care team, or first aid service, to supervise and care for students at specific events. It is this need that led to the birth of MFAS.

It is this need that led to the birth of MFAS.

Since its inception, qualified student volunteers trained in standard to advanced first aid have run MFAS and provided the McGill and Montreal communities with the necessary care in emergency situations. Although ultimately accountable to the SSMU council and governing bodies, MFAS has always been led by a democratically elected executive body (herein referred to as The Executive,) consisting solely of MFAS volunteers.

MFAS is also a full member of ACERT, the Association of Campus Emergency Response Teams of Canada. Formed in 1995 at the first National Conference for Campus Emergency Responders (NCCER), ACERT serves to represent all national campus response teams. NCCER is hosted by one of ACERT’s member teams each year and allows for all response teams to train and compete together, as well as providing a forum to discuss methods of training, communication, and leadership.

As a result of all the improvements and success that was experienced by MSERT in the 2018/19 year, MSERT was recognized by SSMU with the SSMU Service of the Year Award and the SSMU Executive Committee of the Year award, for the first time since the early 2010s.
