It was a productive few days at Queens Park lobbying for simultaneous dispatch and early cancer screening. Thank you to MPP @tylerallsoppPC and MPP @ricbresee_mpp for meeting with us. @BPFFAlocal497 #OPFFA.

Reflecting on this week, the #OPFFA2024 Legislative Conference was an invaluable opportunity for our union leaders to come together, deepen their understanding of key issues impacting #firefighters, and engage directly with MPPs to rally support for #firefighter health and safety across Ontario. The OPFFA board and members participated in many productive meetings and it was inspiring to witness the support of so many of Ontario’s political leaders. #ONpoli #OPFFAPriorities #FirefighterCancer #HealthScreening @fordnation @WillBoumaBrant @PaulCalandra @mikeharrisjrpc @stephaniebowman @ShamjiAdil @LiseVaugeois @PBethlenfalvy @BR4CambridgePC @ToddJMcCarthy @IAFFCanada

On Sunday, I took this photo while on the 407.

Not sure why @fordnation wants to build a tunnel when we have an empty highway just sitting here.

We don't need a tunnel to fix gridlock Doug, use the 407.

It was great running into Kevin Burkette at the North York Rangers vs. Trenton Golden Hawks game Friday night. The Rangers are lucky to have Kevin's grandson. Nice to hear Kevin is still doing @opffa firefighter Arbitrations. The most respected Arbitrator in the province.

Belleville Urban and Rural firefighters took part today in the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb, climbing 110 flights of stairs to symbolize the 110 stories of the World Trade Center. A big thank you to Planet Fitness Belleville for hosting us today.

Deputy Shannon, FF Cowey and I marched in today's procession alongside Firefighters from across Canada. Today we marched in honor of fallen @BellevilleFire firefighter Stephenson. A very powerful experience.

Thankfully, no one was hurt @BellevilleFire @BPFFAlocal497 @OPP_HSD before the suspect was apprehended. Stay aware and stay safe! https://t.co/FvHQRBtqM9

Yesterday during the opening of the @IAFFofficial convention in Boston we paid tribute to the firefighters that have been recognized as line of duty deaths since the last convention in Ottawa including one of @BPFFAlocal497 own John Stephenson.
