Proclamation: National Firefighters’ Memorial Day

Firefighters' Memorial Day

Proclamation: National Firefighters’ Memorial Day

Sep. 10, 2017
Today marks the first Firefighters’ Memorial Day in Peace River and Canada.

This August the Federal Government announced a special memorial day for firefighters would be observed on the second Sunday of September going forward. Prior to now, there had not been a national day memorializing firefighters and the crucial role they play in Canada.

Peace River Fire Department Chief, Tim Harris, addresses firefighters gathered for the first Firefighters’ Memorial Day, during a ramp ceremony at the main fire hall in downtown Peace River, on September 10, 2017

In Peace River members of the department observed the inaugural day with a ramp ceremony at the main fire hall located downtown. Joined by firefighters from the County of Northern Lights and Northern Sunrise County, a proclamation was signed and municipal flags were lowered to half-mast to commemorate the sacrifices made by firefighters in the name of serving and bettering their communities.

Firefighters ring the station bell after lowering flags, prior to a moment of silence in honour of National Firefighters’ Memorial Day.

Whereas

The Government of Canada has declared the second Sunday in September to be Firefighters’ National Memorial Day; and,

Whereas

The Town of Peace River has had its own fire department for more than a century; and,

Whereas

Municipal firefighters provide a critical service to our community, its safety and well-being; and,

Whereas

These dedicated individuals deserve to be recognized for the dedication to the Town of Peace River ;

 Be it Resolved

That the Mayor and Council of the
Town of Peace River hereby proclaims September 10, 2017 as “Firefighters’ National Memorial Day,” in the Town of Peace River.
