It’s a historical day for Nanaimo Fire Rescue as we onboard 21 new Firefighters to our Fire family…. In 30 mins we welcome them. @cityofnanaimo@IAFF905
Today I introduced the PFAS Alternatives Act because firefighters’ jobs are dangerous enough without the added risk of exposure to harmful PFAS in their turnout gear. They deserve gear that keeps them safe as they put their lives on the line to protect us. https://t.co/eniDnGWOOf
We are grateful to the province for bringing certainty to the future of policing in Surrey. Thank you to the @SurreyPS and @SurreyRCMP for their continued professionalism and commitment to public safety.

While Surrey City Council has voted to return to the RCMP, it is important to note the Minister of Public Safety has not approved a transition back to the RCMP, as several conditions must still be met.

Chicago fire fighter Jermaine Pelt made the ultimate sacrifice this morning in the line of duty, responding to a pre-dawn house fire. His family, friends, and all our @CFDLocal2 brothers and sisters are in my thoughts and prayers.

We stand in the shade of trees who's seeds were planted by those who came before us...and we will plant seeds to make shade for those for those yet to come.
All workers deserve a #union, from your local fire fighters to your neighborhood @Starbucks baristas. Want to protect your rights on the job? "Join a union." Any CEO or company standing in the way of working people organizing needs to answer for those union-busting actions.
@EdmontonFire@ggcyeg Awesome to see strong leaders engaging youth and educating about the fire service! Bravo YEG-FD! Aside...curious if specific aspects of these events could be modifyed re. PPE donning for FFs & participants due to PF-OS/OA exposure hazards?
Today we launched the new Too Hot for Tots e-learning course at the Burn Fund Centre with members of our incredible community. Thanks to special guests Dr. Sally Hynes, Burn Unit Director at BC Children’s Hospital and Breanna Choo, mom to burn survivor Levi, who are featured.
History tells us that unions are the only effective voice working men and women have ever had to combat corporate greed. The @IAFFofficial will do whatever it takes to improve the lives and livelihoods of our members.
