New Firehall Update

One of the attributes needed on Council is patience. Last summer we identified land for the new fire hall. Having done that we negotiated with CNR to purchase the land and in January of this year we had a deal. Now, in August the deal has progressed to the point that we could approve the subdivision of the property. Once this goes through with the province then CNR can be paid and the title transferred to the Town.

Concurrently we are also doing a review of the Fire Department. I believe that we have a hard working highly trained fire department who are well regarded. One of the questions that has to be addressed is level of service. What level of service do we need for the Town and can afford? The results of the review will also help determine the design of the new fire hall and the type of equipment required.

Chief Hope and his crew are very dedicated and earnest in what they do spending countless hours training, preparing, and recovering. Our fire department couldn't do what they are doing without the support of their spouses and families support. Family activities are interrupted, missing one parent, cancelled, as a parent responds to a call. And lets not forget how responding to an incident, such as a child's death, can affect our fire fighters emotionally and physically including their relationships.

A very sincere and heartfelt thanks go out to our fire brigade: Thank you!
