Excited to have President @StamatakisCPA kick off the Canadian Police Association biennial conference. The CPA is the country's largest policing advocacy organization, welcoming delegates representing almost 60,000 civilian+sworn members from coast to coast to coast. #CPABiennial

Extremely disappointed in @westjet for cancelling our flight to Toronto with less than five hours notice. Fortunate to have booked on another airline to get in on time. Rebooked through Winnipeg to get in two days after the original arrival date? Duly noted for future travel.

Researchers, clinicians & advocates from around the globe packed the National PFAS Conference @UMich. Your @IAFFofficial stood with whistleblowers from 3M & DuPont to speak about the devastating health impacts PFAS cause to fire fighters and our families.

Decon is an easy way to reduce harmful carcinogens on your gear. In fact, recent research found that #decon can reduce those toxins by 85%. That’s no small number! Stay tuned for more detailed instructions on how to set up a decon station at a fire scene. #fcifightscancer

@iaff13thdvp @IAFFofficial @IAFFCanada @GNPFFA @opffa It’s time city council listened to Fire Chief Hammond, and put the safety of fire fighters and the public as a priority.
English
Fire Chief Hammond has been asking Napanee Council for four additional fire fighters for 2 years. His recommendation lowers liability to the Town and makes it safer for all firefighters, both career and POC. #hire4in2024. @IAFFofficial @IAFFCanada @GNPFFA @opffa

Welcome to a new year and to national #FireFighterCancerAwarenessMonth. This month the IAFF & our affiliates across Canada are focusing on the toll job-related cancers have taken on fire fighters, and what we can do together to reduce that toll going forward. #FightCancer #IAFF

Do you have your seatbelt on?

I'd like to have a simple answer to this, but it's not simple.

It was tough to say goodbye to my Zia today. Seeing cousins I hadn't seen in decades & hearing all the beautiful stories abt her. My story was that I could never do wrong in her 👀 she loved me through it all and always made sure my stomach was full. #RIP Zia & thanks for the love 💕

Recognizing cancer among firefighters is important. But working on early detection, treatment and prevention is even more important. This wouldn't have been possible without the support of @SherryRomanado.
