The monument – debuting on the 175th anniversary of Whitby Fire & Emergency Services – reflects an ongoing commitment to fire fighter health and safety.
The charity, which Canadian IAFF affiliates have been supporting since 1954, has also launched a new fire fighters webpage that recognizes support from the firefighting community and includes resources to help with fundraising initiatives.
More than 100 federal fire fighters received direct assistance through the IAFF’s Adopt a Family program, coordinated by 16th District Field Service Representative Joe Love.
