@CambridgeFD @barnoldfire @cityofcambridge @CPFFALocal499 Awesome! Well deserved Gina!

@MrBubbleSystem @WolfeIslander3 My comment asks a deeper question. If the ferry was an essential service MTO would be required to have a contingency plan in place to get people off the island. The second ferry accomplishes this. However if it is not deemed essential there is no obligation to provide service.

[Mark Podgers @MPodgers]

@MrBubbleSystem @WolfeIslander3 The ferry may be essential to the islanders however I don’t believe is is still deemed an essential service after COVID. Paramedics aren’t even deemed an essential service by the Province.

@MIHomeYGK Great job by the professionals of @FPSParamedics @GuardCanadian @wolfeFirechief. The residents of Wolfe Island should be very proud of their Firefighters and the job they do in the community.

Gananoque is hosting the ultimate challenge today and I’m very surprised and concerned that when the racers were in the water neither the @OPP_ER or @CoastGuardCAN were in attendance to manage the other boaters and provide rescue if required. #riskmanagement #WaterSafety

"My power is out - now what?" Turn off appliances/electronics and turn the thermostat down to a minimum to prevent power surge damage. Don't open freezer or fridge unless necessary. Food can stay frozen for 24-36 hours w/ doors closed.

In this kind of weather, your tauntaun could freeze before you reach the first marker, so bring along an #EmergencyKit. #StarWars https://t.co/fNmG2NeMif
