Message from Your New President - December 2020

Submitted by shirley on Sat, 12/05/2020 - 13:34

2020 has certainly been interesting, to say the least. Not only from dealing with the unknowns of a global pandemic, but it has also thrown all of us both personally and professionally into a state of disarray. It has caused us to challenge the way we do things and that includes how we continue to work and at the same time keep our families safe. As first responders, fire investigators, and inspectors we have to remain vigilant as we carry out our duties.

President's Message - August 2020

Submitted by shirley on Tue, 08/11/2020 - 16:40

Welcome to summer 2020. This year has certainly not been anything we could have imagined. We started with the loss of Tim Irish, then the virus started, and we eventually had to close down the country. The country, and the world, have undoubtedly changed. How we communicate with each other, how our circles of friends and co-workers have changed, working from home, no social meetings or gatherings, and all of our meetings are online. Now the governments are opening up the country again with summer upon us, but the virus numbers are rising back to the point equal to the original numbers.

President's Message - March 2020

Submitted by shirley on Thu, 04/02/2020 - 15:39

This Presidents Message is very difficult to write as events since the last one has changed so much. First off was the loss of my dear friend and colleague Tim Irish in January. Tim's passing was such a shock to everyone who knew him. Tim's dedication to CAFI was above and beyond, and he was so excited to become President in December. Tim had so many ideas of how he was going to implement during his term. The training was one. He and I wanted to have online training for all Fire Services across Canada. We had been working on this for months.
