May is Mental Health Awareness Month.
As firefighters, you dedicate yourselves to protecting your communities every day. This month is a reminder to also take care of yourselves and each other.
Protect your mind like you protect your community.

Supporting Ontario’s fire services starts with showing up, visiting fire halls, and listening to the priorities of our firefighters.

Today, alongside MPP Jess Dixon , I had the pleasure of visiting @KitchenerFire, @Waterloo_Fire, and @GuelphFire to listen and learn from the men and women who protect their communities every day.

My message was simple: our government hears you, we will continue to take action, and we will always have your backs.

A Christmas morning tradition every year over the past decade has been visiting our @KitchFire teams, along with some @citykitchener staff like security & our 24/7 call centre who keep our city safe & running over the holidays! Thx @Chief_Gilmore for joining me every year!

Special thx to all first responders, health staff & other essential workers who work over the holidays, and their families who share them with our community, to keep all of us safe & the city running while we enjoy time with family & friends! 🙏🎄🎅🤶

[Berry Vrbanovic @berryonline]

It’s on nights like tonight that we really appreciate our first responders! A shout out and big thanks to @CityKitchener @KitchFire for responding to this garage/shed fire near The Aud in the overnight hours of Christmas Eve night, & also to @WRPSToday for incident support. Fortunately everyone was ok, and it is a reminder for all of us to always keep our homes fire safe!

Always an in depth and attentive conversation with MPP Jess Dixon when meeting with her during the #OPFFA Legislative Conference. Our Advocacy Committee and our members thank you for your time discussing issues faced by Ontario Firefighters

[KPFFA @KitchFire]

Wonderful meeting with @AislinnClancyKC at the #OPFFA 2025 Legislative Conference. Always a pleasure discussing issues surrounding Ontario Firefighters with you. Thank you for your time.

[KPFFA @KitchFire]

Our members past & present along with DC O’Halloran spent their morning visiting children & their families @grhospitalkw . Our Everyday Hero’s program helps provide these families with some smiles and a little joy while admitted for treatments.

[Doug Ford @fordnation]

I had the chance to meet with some incredible first responders at the Ontario Professional Fire Fighters Association conference earlier today.

It’s always great to hear about how we can support our fire-fighting heroes as they protect our homes and communities.
