Ontario Investing in Life-Saving Training for Firefighters

Firefighter in our community are our unsung heroes with the majority of our area supported by volunteers. These brave individuals leave their families at the drop of a hat, regardless of them being at a children’s birthday party on a Saturday afternoon or a weekday in the middle of the night. We thank them and their families for their sacrifice to benefit and protect their community.

This week, our government announced it will be supporting professional and volunteer firefighters with $700,000 to support four innovative and free training projects around the province. Through its first three funding rounds, our Skills Development Fund has supported 595 projects aiming to help nearly 522,000 people around the province take the next step in their careers.
