🚨BREAKING: The new presumptive @WSIB cancer coverage for all firefighters in Ontario starts TODAY, and is retroactive to 1960. We’re ensuring that firefighters have the support they and their families need.

Congratulations to the City of Oshawa for recognizing a public safety shortfall within their community, and today answering the call to better protect their citizens.

Today our #iaffcdnpolicy conference delegates adopted resolutions in support of research into cancers in the children of fire fighters and to better engage in the Fire Underwriters Survey process. #Leadership #democracy #IAFF #Burnaby

The #IAFF Executive Board voted unanimously to award MP @SherryRomanado an honorary membership for her steadfast support of the union’s efforts to end occupational cancer.

@WPFFAL2036 are still looking for players and sponsors for our upcoming Golf Tournament in support of @sickkids. For all information please see the photos attached.

Today @WPFFAL2036 President Friel and our members had the opportunity to meet and discuss with Solicitor General @MPPKerzner. Thank you for taking the time to stop in and meet with us today.

Chief Mike Hickey of @WhitbyFire has staffed his detachment with some of the finest their town has to offer. Grateful to know that the @opffa and the @ONFireChiefs are well represented here.

Thank you Whitby for your support, as your @WPFFAL2036 firefighters were able to raise over $19,500 during our annual boot drive, in support of @MD_Canada! @TownofWhitby

On September 5th, @WPFFAL2036 will be hosting their first annual golf tournament in support of @sickkids! Please find all information on the poster attached. We are looking for participants and sponsors! This tournament is open to everyone. We hope to see you there!

Wildfires are not like structure fires. Personnel need special training to safely and effectively protect communities. RT to ask the federal gov't to accept our 'Responding to the Interface' training program ASAP. @JustinTrudeau @JonathanWNV @NRCan iaff.org/wildfire/

It's that time of year again! Stop by May 12th & 13th at Whitby's Walmart Plaza, to help our firefighters fill the boot and support the great work of @MD_Canada! #FilltheBoot

@WPFFAL2036 hopes this trend continues across the region, and in our own municipality @WhitbyFire, as we witness our own @TownofWhitby and @RegionofDurham continue its rapid growth. (3/3)

It is encouraging to see @oshawacity council recognize the importance to public safety in staffing their new fire apparatus with four firefighters. Four firefighters is the minimum amount required on scene before interior search and rescue operations can begin. (2/3)

Congratulations to our neighbours, @iafflocal465 on @oshawacity councils recent decision to fully staff a new rescue truck in their downtown core with four firefighters. (1/3)
