@CentralYorkFire @cypffa @YRP Well done!

Have you ever dropped some change in a boot during our @cypffa charity boot drives? Your donations go directly into your community to people that need it most. Yesterday the Central York Professional Firefighters Association donated $1000 to the @YRP #HolidayHeroes Campaign. Along with many toys picked up around town (check out our previous post for the haul!). We would like to thank our residents who made this possible, and encourage your generosity at future boot drives and CYFS events. 🎁🎄 @TownofNewmarket @Town_of_Aurora

I was honoured to stand during #QuestionPeriod this week to reflect on Fire Chief Ian Laing & highlight his dedication to & pride in serving our community. He will be dearly missed in #NewmarketAurora & his legacy will be remembered. I was proud to call Chief Laing a friend.

Today we paid tribute to former MFES Ian Laing, who served Mississauga for 34 years before moving to CYFS. Hundreds of fire service personnel said their goodbyes at a service today. newmarkettoday.ca/local-news/tru…

At @CentralYorkFire Chief Ian Laing's funeral, @YRP and public safety partners from around the province heard how he loved two things: Polished boots, and gleaming fire trucks. His staff sure did him proud yesterday.

Rest easy my friend.
