Heading out onto the Toronto Pride Parade route with our @MississaugaFES team. A fantastic day promoting our role not only as first responders but as advocates for equality and respect for all individuals.

BREAKING! In a late night agreement #BillC224 - An Act to establish a national framework for the prevention and treatment of cancers linked to firefighting - has passed 3rd Reading in the Senate unamended and will become law! Royal Assent will occur in the coming days. Congratulations to all who worked so hard on this bill - in particular our firefighters and their representatives. As Senate critic and supporter of this bill, I have said this many times: firefighters are always there for us and now we must be there for them. @SherryRomanado @IAFFCanada @IAFFOfficial @IAFFLocal1075 @CdnFireChiefs #NLpoli #cdnpoli #CancerPrevention #SenCA

Dir of Science & Research @NeilMcMillan162 spoke today before the @SenateCA on Bill C224, which would create a national framework for preventing and treating cancer in fire fighters. We're devoted to making the job safer for today's fire fighters and the generations to follow.

#PrideMonth is a time to celebrate equality, inclusion and diversity by showing support for every member of the 2SLGBTQ+ community. As firefighters we are all leaders in our community and we champion the rights of all to be accepted, respected and equal as their true selves.

It was kind of surreal to get vaccinated today in the @UTM RAWC (the same spot where I wrote so many exams during undergrad). Thanks @THP_hospital for such a smooth experience and thanks to the @MississaugaFES firefighter who was so understanding of my fear of needles!!

Very saddened to hear. This news. With @IAFF1212 I had the opportunity to first work with Jim several years ago, he became a friend and since, we would always say hi, catch up on things. Always a gentleman, always had time for us. goldblattpartners.com/news-e… – at Kingston, Ontario
