The Cree Nation and Ontario fire departments have launched a Fire Prevention Officer Mentorship Program. This initiative aims to enhance fire prevention education and safety within the Cree communities.
The program will mentor and train fire prevention officers, equipping them with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively manage fire safety and prevention efforts.
“Fire prevention is so vital for our communities, especially with the unique challenges we face,” said Grand Chief Mandy Gull-Masty, Grand Council of the Crees (Eeyou Istche)/Cree Nation Government, in a media statement.
“This mentorship program will give our Fire Prevention Officers the knowledge and support needed to better protect our communities and build a safer future for all in Eeyou Istchee.”
The Ontario fire departments participating are Kawartha Lakes Fire Rescue Service, King Fire and Emergency Services, Kingston Fire and Rescue, Kitchener Fire Department, Oakville Fire Department, Orillia Fire Department, Rama Fire Rescue Service, Richmond Hill Fire and Emergency Services, Sarnia Fire Rescue Services, St. Catharines Fire Services and Windsor Fire and Rescue Services.
