    • Professional development opportunities: We’re arranging and facilitating professional and personal development programs to keep you at the forefront of fire safety education.

    • Collaboration with partners: We’re strengthening our partnerships, including our ongoing collaboration with the OMFPOA and NFPA for our quarterly webinar series.

    • New board members: We’re thrilled to welcome three new board members who will bring fresh perspectives to our organization.

    • Upcoming events: Mark your calendars for our annual conference, where we’ll share best practices, network, and learn from industry experts.

    • Program of the Year: We’re excited to announce the return of the Program of the Year award, recognizing outstanding fire education programs across Ontario.

Remember, our strength lies in our collective knowledge and experience. I encourage you to actively participate, share your ideas, and collaborate with your fellow members.

As we move forward, let’s continue to work together to create safer communities across Ontario. Your passion and expertise are making a real difference in fire prevention and public safety education.
